Biscutella has been proposed for phytoremediation, as it can collect large amounts of thallium.[2]
Cultivation edit
Rapidly germinating, keep seed in constant moisture (not wet) with temperatures of about +20 °C [68 °F]. Seeds must be covered thinly. Do not cover very small seeds, but tightly press into the earth. Keep in cooler conditions after germination occurs.[3]
