Growth—
Requires a position in full sun in a well-drained approximately neutral soil[1]. Acid soils should be given some lime[1]. Plants are generally tolerant of poor soils[1].
Propagation
Seed - sow spring in situ[1]. Germination should take place within 3 weeks. The flowering season can be extended by making a succession of sowings from spring to early summer[1]. An autumn sowing should overwinter in many parts of the country and would provide flowering plants in the spring.
