Propagation
Seed - best sown as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame. It usually germinates in the spring. 
'Green' seed (harvested when the embryo has fully developed but before the seed case has dried) 
should be sown as soon as it is harvested and germinates within 6 weeks. Stored seed should be 
sown as soon as possible in late winter or spring. 3 weeks cold stratification will improve 
its germination, which should take place in 3 - 6 months at 10°c. Prick out the seedlings 
when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in a cold frame for at least their first 
winter. Plant them out in late spring or early summer. Division of suckers in spring. They can 
be placed direct into their permanent positions, better results are achieved if they are 
potted up and placed in a frame until established. Leaf cuttings in the autumn.
