Propagation

Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe, the seed rapidly loses viability if it is allowed to become dry[3]. Surface sow and keep moist, it usually germinates in 1 - 3 months at 15°c[4]. Germinates in spring according to another report[3]. Two months warm, then a cold stratification improves the germination of stored seed[5][4]. Seedlings only produce one leaf in their first year of growth[6] and are very prone to damping off[3]. This species is a biennial and probably germinates more easily than the perennial species.
