How to care for Eupatorium cannabinum:
In spring, surface sow seeds in trays filled with a good seed mix, lightly pressing them into the compost. Maintaining temperatures around 18-20C, but if germination has not begun after 6 weeks, cold stratify by placing the seed tray in the fridge for 4 weeks before returning to warmer conditions. When large enough to handle, grow on in individual pots and gradually acclimatise before planting out. When in growth, cut back and compost the stems after flowering, and remove unwanted seedlings as they appear.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
