| Propagation methods: seeds, tubers. Tubers are dug up after leaves desiccate (between June and July) and stored in pots with sand and peat. Tubers are planted (at 5 cm depth and 8-10 cm distance) between the end of August and September. Small tuber should be planted separately. 500-600 seeds per 1 gram. 1000 seedlings per 3 - 5 grams of seeds sown. Seeds are sown in boxes or beds in Autumn. Boxes are stored outdoors during Winter. Seedlings do not like replantation. It is advisable to sow seeds to the final growing place. Seedlings begin blooming in the third year. |
