Habitat:  Not known

Cultivation Notes: Thrives in most soils and in the light shade of trees[1]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Prefers a moist soil in sun or semi-shade[200]. Prefers a calcareous soil. Grows well in open woodlands[1, 4]. Members of this genus seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits and deer[233]. A greedy plant, inhibiting the growth of nearby species, especially legumes[54]. Considered to be a part of A. napellus by most botanists[1], it is probably A. napellus vulgare. (Rchb.)Rouy.&Foucaud[200]. We are keeping this record separate because the suggestion that this species is not poisonous[178] requires investigation.
