Germination
Sow indoors. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Propagate or place somewhere warm, ideal temp. 12°C. Do not exclude light. Germination takes 15-20 days. When large enough to handle transplant seedlings to 8cm pots. Acclimatise and plant out once plants are 2-3cm tall with 25cm spacing.
Growing
Prefers a moist well-drained soil in full sun. Requires little attention.
Cultivation
May be hardy in warmer regions otherwise will require frost protection. Cut back flowered stems to ground level in early spring. Lift and divide large clumps every 2-3 years in Mar-May, discard woody crowns.
