When selecting seeds, they should be taken on plants with good growth, which is conducive to ensuring the germination rate of seeds. After picking the seeds, wash them and put them in the shade, which can be put in a clean cloth bag. After that, the seeds should be mixed with sand, about in November, with a ratio of 1:3. The sowing time is April of the second year. Don't sow the seeds too intensively. After sowing, attach a layer of fine sand on the surface
