Propagation
Sow fresh seed during spring in situ or in boxes and prick out when large enough to handle.

Note:
When the foliage is crushed it has a disagreeable smell giving the plant its common name 'Smoke' and a sharp tasting drink is made from the plant that brings tears to your eyes.
If plant parts are ingested it may cause stomach upset and diarrhoea.
