Beschreibung

Anbautipps

Propagation is by seed (and also possible by cuttings (non-woody, without flowering) from existing plants). Germination at 18°C after 10-14 days. Regularly cut back and defoliate. Protect from cold temperatures in winter, only conditionally hardy. Harvesting is best done before flowering and by cutting off whole shoots.
