Germination
Sow indoors at any time. Best sown into a cold frame in autumn. Sow into moist, well-drained seed compost. Place in a cold frame. Allow autumn warmth followed by natural winter cold to offer ideal conditions for germination to occur in spring as the weather warms. Indoors, sow at 18-22⁰C for 2-4 weeks then cold stratify. Move to -4-+4⁰C for 4-6 weeks then return to warmth 5-12⁰C for germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle. Grow on. Plant out after danger of frost has passed.
Growing
Prefers a fertile, acid-neutral, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. Can tolerate full sun if protected during the hottest part of the day. May require staking.
Cultivation
Propagate by seed or by division in spring or autumn.
