Cultivation
Herbs to propagate in spring and autumn
sow seeds in situ, in spring or early autumn.
use seeds less than 1 year old.
Germination is slow and unreliable.
Stem cutting is the preferable propagating method.
Divide large plants or transplant offshoots.
Germination can take a long time and be quite erratic.
Take 4-8 inches of softwood cuttings. Use only stems without flowers.
Sow seeds preferably in autumn, for wintering.
Some poppy species require winter stratification to germinate.
Santolina chamaecyparissus
Cut taproot into sections.
sow on soil surface, as seeds need light to germinate.
