Succeeds in a moderately good well-drained soil. Grows best in a neutral to alkaline soil. It prefers a sunny position but also succeeds in semi-shade. A very drought resistant plant once established, it can be grown in a drystone wall. Plants can spread fairly aggressively at the roots when they are in a suitable position[K]. They also often self-sow freely.

Seed - sow early spring in situ. Division in April or the autumn. Very easy, larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring. This species can be divided successfully at almost any time in the growing season.
