Hi Patricia, Thanks for contacting. Sorry, no timeline on this. Lovage is a reasonable substitute. Richo

is there anyway in preventing this plant from dying without cutting the flower buds?

Richo Cech –
Hi Max, Dang-gui is monocarpic, meaning it dies after flowering. You can save the plant by cutting back the flowers (usually in the second year) or by saving the seeds and propagating on that way. I don’t know of any other method, it is taprooted and doesn’t respond well to cuttings. Richo

Hello Obua, Uganda is a lovely, lush, green country where I have travelled and enjoyed the people and especially the aloe diversity. Dang-gui is not a good choice for growing there–it requires a winter. I am glad you contacted us, it is good to hear from someone in Uganda, but we probably cannot successfully send you seeds. Richo
