Plant Propagation

Seed - sow spring in situ. This plant does not really need any encouragement. Division in spring. Very easy, larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found that it is better to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are well established before planting them out in late spring or early summer.

Jan 25 2016 12:00AM Due to the blistering this plant causes, in mediaeval times it was rubbed onto the skin by beggars to make themselves look sickly, eliciting sympathy, or perhaps their marks would pay up quicker to expedite their departure for fear of infection.
