Dangers connus

  • The whole plant is highly toxic - simple skin contact has caused numbness in some people [1, 200].

Usages médicinaux

  • The plant is said to be medicinal but no details are given [145].
  • This is a very poisonous plant and should only be used with extreme caution and under the supervision of a qualified practitioner .

Culture

  • Nous avons très peu d'informations sur cette espèce et ne savons pas si elle est suffisamment robuste pour l'Angleterre; d'après son origine géographique, elle devrait réussir en extérieur dans de nombreuses parties de ce pays .
  • Les notes suivantes sont basées sur les besoins généraux du genre .
  • Thrives in most soils and in the light shade of trees [1].
  • Pousse bien dans les sols très argileux .
  • Prefers a moist soil in sun or semi-shade [200].
  • Prefers a calcareous soil .
  • Grows well in open woodlands [1, 4].
  • Members of this genus seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits and deer [233].
  • A greedy plant, inhibiting the growth of nearby species, especially legumes [54].

Propagation

  • Graine - le mieux est de semer dès qu'elles sont mûres sous un chassis [111].
  • The seed can be stratified and sown in spring but will then be slow to germinate [133].
  • When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a cold frame for their first winter .
  • Plantez les en extérieur à la fin du printemps ou au début de l'été .
  • Division - best done in spring but it can also be done in autumn [1, 111].
  • Another report says that division is best carried out in the autumn or late winter because the plants come into growth very early in the year [233].
