The seed usually germinates within 1 - 4 months at 25℃. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter.

Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring. Root cuttings in winter.
