Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant young plants in spring in well drained soil in an open, sunny position. L. alpina prefers gritty soil in a raised bed or in a pocket in a rock garden. Move self-sown seedlings to new positions in late winter or early spring.
Propagation
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Sow the seed of annual species in spring, thinly where the plants are to flower. Sow the seed of perennial species in winter or early spring in a cold frame. Alternativelly, divide perennial species in spring or take soft wood cuttings in spring or early summer.
Flowering
From Early Summer TO Early Autumn
The two-lipped, little snapdragon-like flowers appear from early Summer right through to early Autumn. The flowering period is prolonged by frequent dead-heading
