Cultivation: -
Grow in full sun,
in a well drained soil. Choose the site with care as the plants resent
being disturbed once established. |
|
Propagation: -
Sow seed in pots
in the cold frame as soon as ripe.
Seed is sown in pots to avoid root disturbance at planting time. Plants
can be divided with care during early Spring, to remove smaller sections
for propagation purposes, whilst trying to keep the original rootball as
large and intact as possible.
