How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours to improve germination. Sow on the soil surface or with a light grit cover in a well-drained seed mix. Firm the seed into contact with the soil but do not bury deeply — light helps germination.

How to Grow


Place in full sun to partial shade with well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Once seedlings are established, reduce watering to encourage strong root development.

Tips


Provide excellent drainage and protection from harsh heat. Use in rockeries, raised beds, or cool shaded borders to mimic alpine conditions.
