The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It requires moist soil.

Cultivation

Succeeds in any soil in a sunny position[200]. When grown in a suitable site, the plants often self-sow^RH.

Propagation

Seed - we have no information for this species but suggest sowing the seed in a cold frame in early spring^pf. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Division in spring^pf.
