How to Grow

We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in most parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. An easily grown plant, it succeeds in any moisture-retentive soil in a sunny position. Suitable for group plantings in the wild garden.

Propagation: Sow seed in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe, or in early spring if ripe seed is not available. Prick seedlings into individual pots once large enough to handle and plant out in summer.
