Several species have been cultivated for centuries as vegetables or as herbs for medical purposes due to their aromatic and slightly fleshy foliage.

Sow seeds flat in any humus-rich, slightly sandy, well drained substrate at some 20°C. Transplant to the open garden in late spring to mid summer as soon as seedlings are strong enough.
