The plant is native to the wet, Marshy lands of Europe, Northern Asia, and even in parts of Scandinavia. It grows best in shady places, by waterways, marshes, or wet meadows.

- Besides its medicinal use, according to A Modern Herbal by Mrs.Grieve, butterbur has also been used in divination. An unmarried woman could see her future husband if she took the seeds and went to a “lonesome place”. A half hour before sunrise on a Friday, she had to scatter the seeds while repeating, “I sow, I sow! Then, my own dear, come here, come here, and mow and mow!” If there was a husband in her future, she would see a vision of him with a scythe mowing grass.
