Plant Propagation
Seed - we have no information for this species but suggest sowing the seed in spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in early summer. If you have sufficient seed it could be worthwhile trying an outdoor sowing in situ in mid spring.
