Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in the autumn in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. The seed can also be sown in an outdoor seedbed in spring. Plant them into their permanent positions the following spring. Division in spring as new growth commences or in the autumn.

Plant them out in the summer or the following spring.The root is antiperiodic, diuretic, febrifuge, ophthalmic, purgative, salve, stomachic and tonic.
