How to Grow

Propagation: No specific information is available for this species, but sowing seed as soon as it is ripe in a greenhouse is recommended. Stored seed can be sown in early spring in a greenhouse. Prick seedlings out into individual pots when large enough to handle and grow on in the greenhouse through their first winter, then plant out in late spring or early summer after the last expected frosts. Division can be done when the plant is dormant.
