Euphorbia characias

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray. First, provide warmth (18-22°C) for 2-4 weeks, then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, after which gradually warm up to room temperature, and germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a longer germination period, so do not discard the seedlings too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; just let winter pass over them, and germination will occur in spring.
