Perennial, non-winter-hardy shrub. Can be grown outdoors, where it thrives much better than indoors, as an annual plant. Loves loose soils and bright places.

Schnell gekeimt!
Habe die Samen auf der Fensterbank in Anzuchttöpfchen gestreut und leicht in die Erde gedrückt, sie sind übers Wochenende gekeimt und gedeihen gut! Ein paar habe ich probehalber mit ein wenig Erde bedeckt, die sind einige Tage später auch gekeimt.
