Spacing: space the plants approximately 18 to 23 inches (45 to 60 cm) apart to allow them room to spread.
Propagation: sow the seeds and tamp directly into the garden bed in early spring or autumn; keep them moist and in the light until germination (typically 1 - 3 weeks). Cuttings can be taken from established plants in spring or early summer.
Harvest: when the plant is in its peak growth stage with bract development, typically just before or during flowering in their second year (usually).
