Perennial seeds require a wintering period for germination. For autumn sowing, sow in pots, making sure to cover the seeds very lightly, or sow directly in the ground, taking care to protect them with mulch, for example. For spring sowing, place the seeds in a damp substrate in the fridge for a month. Transplant when germination begins.
Invasive, it's important to keep a close eye on their cultivation to prevent them from spreading into the wild to the detriment of our local endemic species.
