Germination

Sow indoors immediately. Sow 12mm deep into moist well-drained seed compost. Ideal temp. 18°C for 6-8 weeks. Renowned for germinating irregularly over a long period. If germination does not occur cold stratify. Move to 5°C. for 6-8 weeks. Repeat process until germination occurs. Transplant seedlings once large enough to handle to 8cm pots. Plant out to final position once 10cm tall in rows 75cm apart with 75cm spacing.

Growing

Prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Provide shelter from strong winds. Does not like to be cramped. Young plants may suffer slug attack, treat as required.

Cultivation

Clear any dead or damaged foliage as required. The seed pods do not open but drop off allowing seeds to germinate around the parent plant. Transplant small seedlings asap. Propagate by division in spring or autumn.
