Habitat of the herb: the herb: Along the sides of streams in woods and uplands all over Japan.
Propagation of Stellaria sessiliflora: Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in spring.
Cultivation of the herb: Along the sides of streams in woods and uplands all over Japan.
Medicinal use of Stellaria sessiliflora: None known
Known hazards of Stellaria sessiliflora: Although no mention has been seen for this species, the leaves of some members of this genus contain saponins. Although toxic, these substances are very poorly absorbed by the body and so tend to pass through without causing harm. They are also broken down by thorough cooking. Saponins are found in many plants, including several that are often used for food, such as certain beans. It is advisable not to eat large quantities of food that contain saponins. Saponins are much more toxic to some creatures, such as fish, and hunting tribes have traditionally put large quantities of them in streams, lakes etc in order to stupefy or kill the fish.
