- Prefers a light well-drained sandy soil in full sun [200].
- Seed is rarely ripened on plants growing in Britain [1].
Propagation
- Seed - sow autumn or early spring very shallowly in pots of sandy soil in a greenhouse [133].
- Germination can be very slow unless you peel off the outer skin and pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in warm water [200, 245].
- The seed usually germinates in 1 - 2 months at 15°c [133].
- When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in early summer .
