Cultivation details
Requires a sunny position, succeeding in most well-drained but moisture retentive fertile soils[1]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. There are both diploid and polypoid forms of this species. Whilst the diploids reproduce sexually, the polyploids, which are widespread, produce their seeds without sexual fertilization[275].
