Growing tips:
Lady's mantle requires a cold period to germinate successfully. To do this, the seeds are mixed with a slightly moist seed substrate and placed in plastic bags. Due to the watertight nature of the plastic bags, additional moistening is usually not necessary. The filled bags are initially placed in a warm location at around 20°C for 2-4 weeks. The bags are then refrigerated. The refrigerator should be set as cool as possible, ideally at 5°C or slightly below. The seeds should be checked regularly (once a week), and once germination begins, they can be sown in pots as usual.

Alternatively, sowing can be done in the garden in the fall. Germination will then occur in the spring.
