Greater celandine seed pack
Sow seeds in trays in early Spring or in the Autumn. It requires absence of light to germinate, so either sow into holes or lines and cover with compost. It can be slow to germinate so make sure the trays are kept moist while waiting. Plant out with a spacing of approx. 40cm once risk of frost has passed.
Greater celandine is a prolific self-seeder so take care to contain your plants or cut back the flowers before they go to seed to prevent unwanted spread.
Uses and benefits:
It has a long history of topical use as a wart medicine, the stem of the plant being broken and the latex applied directly to the wart. The latex was also used for a number of other skin conditions such as ringworm, eczema and ulceration.
Safety
In the UK Greater celandine falls under the legislation for Human Use Regulations 2012 within the schedule 20 part 2 herbs. This means that it is a practitioner-only medicine and has maximum weekly and single doses.
The plant does contain potentially harmful compounds.
