Propagation by cuttings and seeds are often used.
Germination of seed is best done in December, sprouts growing up at the time when it can be planted in open ground. Before they were seeded in soil germinated in moist tissue for 10-12 days, thereby doubling germination. A seed is planted one per well to a depth of 5 mm. Earth humidified, and the container is covered with foil. Humidity ground constantly maintained at about 18 degrees, until the germs (about 2 months). The film is then removed.
Planting seedlings in open ground should be at the end of April or early May (guided on the weather). Shrubs should be planted no closer than 50 centimeters from each other, so they do not drown each other. Plant bloom with this version of sowing only in the second year.
