Leaves
Ginseng leaves are medium to dark green in color. The edges are serrated or saw-toothed with a pointed tip. There are three leaves arranged in a group at the top of the plant's stem with two smaller leaves slightly below them, one on each side of the stem.
Flowers
The flowers of a ginseng plant appear in June or July and normally last around six weeks. These light green flowers consist of multiple tiny buds. They sprout up between two or more leaf clusters.
Berries
Ginseng flowers give way to berries, found on this plant in late summer to early fall. Located in tight clusters in the center of the leaves, the initially-green berries later turn a bright red color.
Where
Wild ginseng grows in the eastern United States and south-central Canada in shaded areas of native hardwood forests.
