    Notes

    Cultivation

    Succeeds in any moderately fertile moisture retentive soil in sun or semi-shade[7]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. A rather greedy plant, it is apt to impoverish the soil[8]. The plant attracts various beneficial insects such as ladybirds, lacewings and hoverflies to the garden, these insects will help to control insect pests in the garden[9][10].

    Propagation

    Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. Only just cover the seed and do not allow the compost to become dry. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle, and grow them on for their first winter in pots. Plant them out into their permanent positions in spring or early summer. Division in spring or autumn. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found it best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in a lightly shaded position in a cold frame, planting them out once they are well established in the summer.

    Range

    Western N. America.

    Habitat

    Dry prairies, gravels and rocky slopes[6].

    Known hazards

    None known

    Edible uses

    Young leaves - raw or cooked[1][2][3]. They can be added to salads or used as a potherb[4]. A very good tea is made from the dried leaves and dried fully expanded flowers[4].

    Material uses

    Mustard, orange and brown dyes can be obtained from the whole plant[5].

    Medicinal uses

    Antiseptic. An infusion of the dried powdered herb can be used[5].
