Sowing instructions: Sow at 18-22 Celsius for 2-4 wks, move to -4 to +4 Celsius for 4-6 wks, move to 5-12 Celsius for germination. Or sow in sep-oct and put outside. Germination will occur in spring.

Planting instructions: It thrives in almost any position in ordinary garden soil, the lighter the better, but must be left to seed and increase as it likes. It does not so well withstand cold rains and storms, and therefore some tufts of it should be placed in warm sunny spots of the rock garden or sheltered border.
