Germination
Sow indoors Feb-Apr. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Do not cover seed but press gently into the soil. Place in a propagator or cover with clear glass or plastic to maintain humidity. Place somewhere bright. Ideal temp. 21-24°C. Germination takes 14-42 days approx. and can be irregular. Once germination occurs admit air. Reduce temp. to 15°C and grow on. Transplant individually to 8cm pots and grow on. Acclimatise and plant out in summer.
Growing
Prefers a deep, fertile, reliably moist soil in full sun. Quite happy in water margins, pond or stream side or in a bog garden. Offer protection from very strong sun and shelter from strong or cold winds.
Cultivation
Cut back after flowering. Propagate by division in spring, after flowering.
