Garden balsam is propagated by sowing, with seedlings raised by broadcasting seed in flat beds. In early spring, cold regions can use greenhouses, plastic tunnels or low plastic hoops. Seeds can germinate above 18°C. Apart from late autumn to winter, sowing and propagation can be done all year round, and in frost-free areas it is suitable in all four seasons. It can be sown in the field or in pots. Raising seedlings first and then transplanting saves seeds and makes it easier to harden the seedlings, so this is the commonly used method. Softwood cuttings dipped in rooting hormone can also be used for large-scale propagation.
