Lycium barbarum is known by a number of different names: Goji, Wolfberry, and Red Diamonds. Lycium barbarum is from Ningxia, China where it is cultivated for food as well as traditional medicines. The foliage is bright silver, the flowers lavender, and the fruit is a orange-red. Goji plants are very cold tolerant and can survive temperatures as low as -15°F. The leaves and roots are also high in nutrients. Mature Goji plants have good drought tolerance, however irrigation will increase yields.
