Cult. The species of Figwort are plants of the most easy 
culture and propagation, will grow in any soil but prefer a 
moist situation. All are readily increased by seeds. The 
shrubby species require protection in winter, by being kept in a 
frame. Some of the species are handsome border flowers, as 
S. mellifera, canina, grandiflora, sambucif olia, &c.
