Easy from seed. Need two years for a blooming plant. If you have a cool
germination site, now is the time to start. I never tried a cutting, can't
hurt. Dividing only practical when the plant is huge.
I have cut the top off this plant while spring cleaning many times. If you
cannot remember where you put it use a stake or some marker. It does not
emerge until everything else is up and you have entirely forgotten about it.
