Sow in pots at a temperature of 20°C, 5 weeks before planting. Transplant the whole clump into warm soil, at least 1.5 m apart. Water abundantly at the time of planting, without drowning the roots, to help the plants take root, which can sometimes be tricky.
Cotoniers need light and warmth to reach maturity. In cool climates, it's best to grow them in a greenhouse or under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.
