Propagation

Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. The seed usually germinates in 2 - 8 weeks at 15°c^[1]. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out in the summer or following spring. Division in spring. Very easy, larger clumps can be planted direct into their permanent positions. It is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are well rooted before planting them out in the summer.
