Habitat of the herb: the herb: Not known in a truly wild situation but found as an escape from cultivation in damp places.
Propagation of Skirret: Seed - sow late winter to early spring in a cold frame. It can be slow to germinate. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out in the summer if they are large enough. Otherwise, grow them on in a cold frame for their first winter and plant them out in the following spring. The seed is best sown in early April in situ. Division in early spring just before new growth begins. Use the side roots to produce new plants. 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.
Cultivation of the herb: Not known in a truly wild situation but found as an escape from cultivation in damp places.
Medicinal use of Skirret: None known
Known hazards of Sium sisarum: None known
