+It is hardy to zone 3 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from May to September, and the seeds ripen from July to October.
+The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Bees. The plant is self-fertile.
+The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and requires well-drained soil.
+The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland). It requires dry or moist soil.
+Habitats: Woodland Garden; Dappled Shade; Shady Edge; North Wall In; East Wall In; South Wall In; West Wall In;
+Edible Uses: Leaves - raw. The leaves have been used in salads, being acrid and pungent like cress[4]. We find them rather bitter and not very pleasant, though they are available all year round and so might be useful in the winter[K]. Some caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity.
+A clear yellow dye is obtained from the flowers, though it is not very permanent
