Cultivation and Propagation

Silene rosulata can be propagated by seed or division. Seeds should be sown in the spring or early summer in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division is best done in the spring as the plant comes into growth. 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.
