Propagation

Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe[7]. The seed can also be sown in spring. Surface sow 2 - 3 seeds per pot in the spring in order to avoid transplanting[8]. We have found that if transplanted when very small seedlings grow away without difficulty[K]. Germinates in 1 - 3 months at 10°c[8]. Plant out into their permanent positions whilst young.

Basal cuttings in spring[K].

Division in spring - very difficult because the plant dislikes root disturbance[9]..

Practical Plants is currently lacking information on propagation instructions of Adenophora remotiflora. Help us fill in the blanks! Edit this page to add your knowledge.



Cultivation

Prefers a light rich slightly alkaline soil that is not too dry, and a warm sunny position[9][7].

Plants are intolerant of root disturbance[9]. The young growth is extremely attractive to slugs, they have been known to destroy even mature plants[K].

There is some confusion over this name. Some reports, especially [1] and [3] refer to A. remotifolia. Miq. We assume that this is a mis-spelling for this species but we could be wrong[K].
