Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is an herbaceous biennial plant native to Europe, known for its pale yellow flowers with dark purple veins and a strong, pungent odor. While historically used in traditional medicine, Henbane is highly toxic and should be handled with care.
Location:Prefers full sun to partial shade. Soil: Thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. Watering: Keep soil moderately moist but avoid overwatering. Growth: Grows as a leafy rosette in the first year, with flowering stems developing in the second year. Care: Minimal care is needed, but gloves should be worn when handling.
Henbane is often grown as an ornamental but should be kept away from pets and children due to its toxicity.
