I just stumbled upon mandrake root while browsing through some old gardening texts—and I'm totally fascinated! I'm curious if anyone here has experimented with or grown it in their garden. I know it's mostly famous for its legendary reputation and spooky folklore, but is there any practical horticultural value to it? How challenging is it to cultivate, and what specific environmental conditions does it require? Also, has anyone discovered any unique uses for it, whether medicinal or decorative? I'm excited to learn more about this intriguing plant and any tips for a gardening newbie venturing into historical herbs.
