Pedicularis kanei (1 Page of 5) The Pedicularis kanei plant species is found in Northwestern N. America. It is a member of the Scrophulariaceae family. Some home gardeners know the variety as P. lanata. (Willd.)Cham.&Schlecht. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Pedicularis kanei Family: Scrophulariaceae Author: Dur. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: Dry stony tundra and alpine slopes[172] at low to fairly high elevations[204].
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will succeed in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in most parts of the country. This species is possibly no more than a part of P. lanata, though P. kanei might be the correct name for both species[204]. The folowing notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
A semi-parasitic plant, growing on grass roots. Rather difficult to establish in cultivation, it is best grown in conditions that approximate to its native habitat[200]. It requires a moist peaty soil and the presence of host grasses[1]. Requires a partially shaded to sunny site in a well-drained gritty but moist soil[200].
