Under hot conditions, flowering is poor and the plant tends to wither and die. It can be sown and propagated in an open-field seedbed in mid-August or early September. After sowing, it is advisable to shade with reed curtains; do not cover with plastic film. Once the seedlings have all emerged, remove the curtains. When two or three leaves have grown, carry out the first pricking out, with bare roots and no old soil attached; the soil in the bed needs to be moist, watering should be timely, and if necessary shade with reed curtains; two or three days after pricking out, when the soil is dry, water once more. Two days later, loosen the soil to preserve moisture and harden the seedlings.
