Propagation: during autumn, in a mix of equal parts of compost and sharp river sand. Place in a cold frame or cold greenhouse. If your climate is too warm to have the seeds germinate this way, you will have to give it a cold treatment; i.e., put the sowing pan in a plastic bag, seal it and place it in the refrigerator, where you store vegetables. Leave it in there for 2 weeks, then take it outdoors for another two weeks and, if necessary, repeat the procedure. The cold treatment method can also be used if you sow the seeds during spring/summer. In my Mediterranean type climate, these plants are evergreen (placed on my balcony).
