Seed may be sownunder glass in the spring, or in the open ground, and the second summerthe plants will flower. Some of the plants will have single flowers, andthese can be pulled up. Young plants are perfectly hardy ; but whenold they are injured in the winter. A succession of young plants shouldbe procured, either from seeds or from layers, every year.

Roots will push out where the cut was made, and thus a newplant will be formed. Perennial.
