Cultivation Details:
Requires a very well-drained light or sandy alkaline soil of low nutrient status and with the addition oflimestone chippings if necessary[200]. Usually best in full sun, though in hot-summer areas it can be better if given some shade, especially from the hottest sun[200]. Grows well on dry stone walls, or as a low ground cover, and tolerates hot humid summers[200].

Propagation Notes:
Seed - requires stratification. Best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame - all watering should be from the bottom of the pot[200]. The seed can take 2 years to germinate, prick out the seedlings into individual pots as soon as they are large enough to handle and grow on in a partially shaded cold frame[200]. Plant out in late spring or early summer.
Division of runners in early summer. Pot them up into a sandy compost and grow them on until they are well-rooted before planting them into their permanent positions[200].
