1. Seed propagation: Spring sowing in late March in the south and mid- to late April in the north; autumn sowing in late September to early October in the south; in the north before the ground freezes in late October to early November. Make a 1.3m flat bed on the prepared ground, dig a 1-2cm deep furrow with a row spacing of 30-40cm for row sowing, evenly spread the seeds into the furrow, cover with thin soil, press slightly, and water. The sowing amount per 1h㎡ is 15-22.5kg, the suitable temperature for germination is 25℃, and the seedlings emerge 10-15d after sowing.
2. Root division propagation: It can be carried out in spring and autumn. Dig out the roots and split them. Each root has 2-3 root buds and plant them in time. For hole planting, dig a 15cm deep hole with a row spacing of 30cm×15cm, and plant 1 root in each hole. Cover the soil with 5cm, compact and water. If it has sprouted, expose the buds to the ground when planting, and water after planting. The emergence rate can reach more than 95%.
