Abstract	Heavy metal phytoextraction is a soil remediation technique, which makes use of plants in removing contamination from soil. The plants must thus be tolerant to heavy metals, adaptable to soil and climate characteristics, and able to take up large amounts of heavy metals. Most of the high biomass productive plants such as, maize, oat and sunflower are plants, which do not grow in cold climates or need intensive care. In this study three “weed” plants, Borago officinalis; Sinapis alba L. and Phacelia boratus were investigated for their ability to tolerate and accumulate high amounts of Cd and Pb. Pot experiments were performed with soil containing Cd and Pb at concentrations of up to 180 mg kg$^{−1}$ and 2,400 mg kg$^{−1}$ respectively. All three plants showed high levels of tolerance. Borago officinalis; and Sinapis alba L. accumulated 109 mg kg$^{−1}$ and 123 mg kg$^{−1}$ Cd, respectively at the highest Cd spiked soil concentration. Phacelia boratus reached a Cd concentration of 42 mg kg$^{−1}$ at a Cd soil concentration of 100 mg kg$^{−1}$. In the case of Pb, B. officinalis and S. alba L. displayed Pb concentrations of 25 mg kg$^{−1}$ and 29 mg kg$^{−1}$, respectively at the highest Pb spiked soil concentration. Although the Pb uptake in P. boratus reached up to 57 mg kg$^{−1}$ at a Pb spiked soil concentration of 1,200 mg kg$^{−1}$, it is not suitable for phytoextraction because of its too low biomass.
