Cult. All the species are of easy culture, and will grow well 
in any rich light soil. The shrubby kinds are readily increased 
by cuttings: the perennial herbaceous species by division or by 
cuttings ; and in summer they will all thrive in the open border ; 
but in winter they require protection. The seeds of annual kinds 
only require to be sown in open borders, like those of other 
hardy annuals.
