Propagation of the herb: Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. Fresh seed germinates in 3 - 6 weeks. Pre-soak stored seed for 24 hours in warm water, sow shallowly and keep in a shady position at 15℃. Germination may be slow and erratic. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a shady position in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in the summer. Division in April/May. Very easy, the larger tubers can be planted out straight into their permanent positions whilst it is best to pot up the smaller ones and grow them on for a season before planting them out.
