Even if germination doesn't take too long, i.e. one to two weeks, it's advisable to soak seeds for 24 hours before sowing. Unsoaked seeds can remain dormant and even germinate the following year. In this way, seedlings that have not germinated by May/June can be overwintered for the following spring. Transplant seedlings, 30 cm apart, 6 weeks after emergence. In very temperate regions, the plant can resow itself.

Grow in soil rich in organic matter with a slightly acidic pH (heather soil or peat moss, for example). Remember to drain the bottom of the pot well with gravel or pozzolan.
