60 Days to Harvest!
800 seeds/gram Sow seed 3mm (1/8") deep and 2.5cm (1") apart directly outdoors in a sunny site with well drained soil in late May or in late August/early September in Zone 5 and up. Thin plants to 30cm (12") apart in the garden. Seed can also be started indoors in a soil-less mix 10 weeks before last frost date. Keep at 21C (70F) for the 14-30 day germination period then grow on at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Please keep in mind that seed germination can be erratic. If you find the seeds dormant, try five weeks cold stratification at 4C (40F). Plants raised from seed are slightly variable in form and perfume. Select favoured plants for clonal propagation. Plants will need some winter protection at the northern end of its range. When pruning back dead wood, cut slightly into the living wood, towards the main stem. Prune up to a third of the plant away after flowering. Try rooted cuttings, root division and layering. Take stem cuttings in summer from non-flowering shoots and root in damp peat moss medium. Over winter rooted cuttings in the cold-frame or a well ventilated indoor space in colder winter climates. Try layering in harsh climates. Transplanting divided roots in the fall works well in mild winter climates (Zones 7, 8). Hardy to Zone 5 with protection.
