Then the seedlings should dive with an interval of 5-10 cm. It is necessary to give the plant the opportunity to get stronger before planting on the flower bed. It is best to transplant a swimsuit to a permanent habitat next spring. "Lights" will bloom in the second year after sowing. 
Dividing bush
Vegetative breeding method is more popular. By dividing the queen plant in spring or early autumn, planting is much easier. It is necessary to dig up the root, rinse and divide with an knife with an arbitrary number of parts. Then prepare a hole 40 cm deep and place a seedling there.
