The flowers were commonly used by the natives as a source of yellow [[dye]] and were boiled in a [[tea]] as a cure for [[stomach ailment]]s for people and [[horses]]. The plant has [[toxic]] properties if ingested; symptoms of poisoning include [[vomit]]ing, [[dizziness]], and [[abdomen|abdominal]] pain.{{ref|toxicity}}
This plant is a beautiful addition to an early spring [[garden]], but can be invasive.
