Germination

Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost with horticultural sand 1:1 ratio. Cover lightly with sand. Ideal temp. 20°C. Germination takes 21-28 days. If germination does not occur cold stratify. Move to -4-+4°C for 2-4 weeks then return to warmth. Germination can be slow, 5-6 months, and erratic. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots. Acclimatise and plant out once danger of frost has passed with 80cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers lighter soils in full sun. Requires little attention.

Cultivation

Divide clumps in spring. Basal cuttings can be taken in May or June.
