Germination

Sow directly or under glass. Easiest to sow directly in autumn as seeds require a period of cold to germinate. Surface sow, barely cover with soil or grit. Keep moist. Germination takes 14-21 days but can be erratic and take many months. Thin to final spacing of 50cm. If planting under glass a period of cold stratification may be required prior to sowing, 4°C for 4 weeks. When germinated move to 8cm pots and grow on at 10°C. Acclimatise and plant out.

Growing

Prefers fertile, ideally alkaline soil in full sun. Good drainage is essential. May require twiggy support. Fertilise in spring if desired.

Cultivation

Mulch in autumn with well rotted manure. No need to deadhead unless desired. Seeds may be collected for future sowing. Cut out woody growth.
