Propagated by seed, which should be sown in the au- 

 tumn, according to Miller, soon after it is ripe. When the 

 plants are large enough they are to be transplanted into a 

 border, with an eastern aspect, where they may remain till 

 the autumn following, and then be planted where they are to 

 flower, which they will do the next summer. But the plant 

 thrives best on old walls and ruins, where it will shed its 

 seed and multiply without any further trouble, if there be 

 but earth enough for it to strike root in. It endures our 

 winter much better in such a situation than in the most 

 sheltered border of the flower-garden.
