Before, you should only start when you have the seeds in Cold frame or sow in the greenhouse. You can sow the gold lacquer in the greenhouse as early as March. The advantage: With such an early sowing, the plant often blooms in midsummer of the same year.

Spread seeds flat and wait for germination

The seeds are distributed flat in the earth. It would be ideal to cover them with soil three times the seed strength. They are dark germs. Moisten the soil and don't let it dry out in the following weeks! At a soil temperature between 17 and 20 ° C, the seeds germinate quickly.

When propagating cuttings, you get a single-variety progeny:

• after flowering
• Select a 10 cm long shoot (if necessary Clippings from Cut back use)
• The shoot should be healthy, half-ripe, not lignified, not blooming
• remove bottom leaves
• in pot with Potting soil put
• keep moist and cover with plastic bag
• in the autumn plant out
