Flowering

When grown as an annual, this plant flowers in Summer

 

Propagating by root cuttings

From Mid Autumn TO Early Winter

Root cuttings should be taken when the plant is dormant, in late Autumn or early Winter. To take root cuttings, choose young healthy-looking roots about the thickness of a pencil, and cut them off, using a sharp knife, near the crown. (Do not remove more than one third of the root-system). Replant parent plant straight away. Cut off the thin end of the root, and cut the root into approx. 3" lengths making a straight cut at the top end, and a 45 deg. angled cut at the lower end. Insert the cuttings into a pot of cuttings compost, and top-dress with a layer of grit. Water gently, and place in a cold-frame or greenhouse until it forms roots.Plant the cut off root(s)

 

Planting

From Mid Spring TO Late Spring

Plant out plants grown from root-cuttings in Spring, into well-draining soil and in a sunny, sheltered site
