Germination

Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Do not cover seeds as light aids germination. Propagate or place somewhere warm 18-25°C. Water from the base of tray only. Keep moist but not wet. Germination takes 5-10 days. When seedlings have 2 true leaves prick out to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed with 50cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers light, moist soil in full sun. Requires little attention.

Cultivation

Cut plant back in autumn. Divide every 4 year to maintain healthy growth. To harvest flowers for the vase or drying cut on a dry morning in the early stages of bloom. Hang upside down to dry in a dark place.
