Agrotechnics.
Prefers fertile, loose, well-drained soils and thrives well in both open and shaded areas. Mainly propagated by seeds. Seeds can be sown in autumn or spring in the ground or in greenhouse boxes. Seedlings quickly bush, so they are planted in the soil at a distance of 30-35 cm from each other; they bloom in their second year. Further care consists in weeding, loosening and watering. Watering is required only during prolonged heat. After flowering, the plants are pruned.
