Seed - it germinates better if given 3 months cold stratification and so it is best sown as soon as it is ripe in the autumn[113]. Sow stored seed as early in the year as possible. Make sure that all the fruit pulp is removed from the seed because it contains germination inhibitors. [3]
Commonly seen growing in areas
Tall grasslands, Meadows, Borders of forests and fields.
