Growth—

Arthrocnemum subterminale is a plant of coastal, Mediterranean climates and is unlikely to experience any but the mildest of frosts. It grows in areas with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

Propagation

Seed - we have no information for this species but suggest sowing the seed as soon as it is ripe if this is possible, otherwise in spring, in a greenhouse in a light sandy compost. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division might be possible in the spring.
