Mosla scabra
Propagation: Seed - we have no information on this species but suggest sowing the seed in situ in mid to late spring.
Cultivation: We have almost no information on this species and do not know if it will succeed outdoors in Britain, though judging by its native range it should be possible to grow it as a hardy annual in most parts of the country. It probably requires a well-drained soil and a sunny position.
Range: E. Asia - China, Japan, Korea, Manchuria.
Habitat: Grassy slopes in lowland and hills all over Japan[1].
Edibility: Young leaves - cooked[2][3]. Although edible, they are not very pleasant[4].
