Germination

Sow indoors in spring. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost. Just cover seed with a sprinkling of soil. Ideal temp. 20°C. Germination takes 1-2 weeks approx. If germination has not occurred after 3-4 weeks cold stratify. Move to -4-+4°C for 4 weeks, a fridge is ideal. Return to warmth for germination. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle. Acclimatise and plant out after danger of frost has passed.

Growing

Thrives in damp, shady areas. Prefers any poor to moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full or partial shade.

Cultivation

Propagate by seed or division in late spring/summer.
