Agrotechnics.
Sowing of seeds is carried out in May-June in open ground on spreading ridges, lightly sprinkling them with wet sand. At a soil temperature of +18+20°C shoots appear in 10-14 days. Seedlings are planted in a permanent place in August, maintaining a distance between plants of 25-30 cm. By the end of the 1st year of cultivation, a rosette of basal leaves is formed.
1.0 g = 700-850 seeds. Can be propagated by layering in spring and autumn.
