Cult. The species of Henbane are plants of the most easy 
culture. The seeds of the annual and biennial kinds only 
require to be sown in the open ground. The half shrubby, oF 
herbaceous kinds are well fitted for decorating rockwork during 
summer; but in winter they need protection by being cover 
with haulm of other plants, or by being preserved in pots in the 
mone and they are readily increased by cuttings and 
seeds.
