Propagation

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

Basal cuttings in spring[K].

Division in spring - very difficult because the plant dislikes root disturbance[4]..

Cultivation

Prefers a light rich slightly alkaline soil that is not too dry, and a warm sunny position[4][2].

Intolerant of root disturbance[4].

The young growth is extremely attractive to slugs, they have been known to destroy even mature plants[K].
