Habitat of the herb: the herb: Alpine areas from 3000 to 4800 metres.
Other uses of Delphinium cashmerianum: The following uses are for the closely related D. brunonianum. They probably also apply for this species:- A parasiticide is obtained from the leaves. It is quite toxic and so is for external use only. In the Himalayas it is only used to destroy ticks on animals. The seed contains 30% of an oil that has industrial uses. The seed is very small, however, and it would require a large area of plants to obtain reasonable yields.
Propagation of the herb: Seed - sow March/April in a cold frame or May outdoors. Keep moist and in a shady position until germination takes place. The seed has a limited viability so it should be stored in a sealed container at about 3℃. Temperatures above 15℃ inhibit germination. The seed usually germinates in 2 - 9 weeks at 15℃. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out into their permanent positions in the summer. Cuttings of basal shoots in April/May, taken before they become hollow at the base, and planted in a cold frame. Division in spring or early autumn.
Cultivation of Delphinium cashmerianum: Alpine areas from 3000 to 4800 metres.
Known hazards of Delphinium cashmerianum: All parts of the plant are toxic. The plant is most toxic when it is young.
