Sowing & growing
Sow under glass Feb-May or Aug-Oct. Surface sow onto moist seed compost and do not cover so that light aids germination. Water from the base of tray. Keep at temperature of 18-25°C. Once seedlings have two true leaves, transplant to pots to grow on. Acclimatise young plants, and when danger of frost has passed, plant out 50cm apart.
Aftercare
Requires little care once established. Cut back in the autumn and divide every 4 years.
