Propagation Notes: Seed - sow in an outdoor seedbed in April/May. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 4 weeks at 15°c[175].
If seed is in short supply then we would recommend sowing it in a pot in a cold frame, potting it up as soon as it is large enough to handle and growing it on in the frame for the first winter, planting out in late spring.
Division in spring or autumn[200].
Basal cuttings in April/May[1, 200]. Harvest the shoots when they are about 10 - 15cm long with plenty of underground stem. Pot them up into individual pots and keep them in light shade in a cold frame or greenhouse until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the summer.
