Habitat

Dry, open areas; common in shrub-steppe, but found in mountain meadows.[3]

Uses

  • Seeds chewed for colds [4]
  • Poultice of chewed seeds applied or chewed seeds blown on head for headaches.[4]
  • Infusion of seeds taken by pregnant women to insure an easy delivery.[5]

Propagation

Seeds benefit from stratification, slow to establish. Seeds germinated within 1-2 weeks. [1]
