Propagation methods: seeds, scrub division. 300 - 450 seeds per 1 gram. 1000 seedlings per 7 grams of seeds sown. Seeds stay viable for 3-4 years. Seeds germinate within 10-14 days. Seeds are sown in seedbeds or hotbeds. Scrub can be divided into 10-20 parts. It is not recommended to propagate the old scrubs. The flower should be replanted every 4-5 years.
