| |
Sun/Shade: |
Full sun to shade. |

Instructions: |
Keep in mind that this species is actually a woodland plant. That means it prefers rich acidic soils, plenty of moisture, and can tolerate shade. It can also do well in full sun, but actually prefers some shade. Under tree limbs or at a treeline is probably best; deep shade will not do. Seed for this large plant is one of the tiniest of all, so sow carefully, and do not cover; just compress into the soil. Also remember that this famous medicinal plant is somewhat poisonous. Should not be planted where small children play. |
