Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is a climbing medicinal herb of great importance in Ayurveda, especially as a rejuvenating tonic for women's health, vitality and lactation. The plant has wiry, thorny stems clothed in fine, needle-like, feathery green cladodes, fragrant small white flowers and clusters of tubular roots that are the main medicinal part. Naturally climbing and bushy, it adds graceful, fern-like texture to gardens and trellises. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, shatavari grows well in warm Indian conditions in well-drained soil, making it a valuable and ornamental medicinal plant for home cultivation.
