Förodla silvermartorn inomhus i feb-maj. Så i fuktad såjord, täck fröerna mycket tunnt och håll 15-20 grader. Täck med plast med lufthål eller lufta ofta.  Efter grodd, ställ ljust och svalt. Om fröna inte grott kan de behöva en köldperiod. Avhärda plantorna före utplantering efter sista nattfrost. Kan även direktsås under senvåren eller hösten.

Cultivation Advice Eryngium, or Blue Sea Holly, are highly prized by flower arrangers for their striking foliage and flower heads. Most Eryngiums, or sea hollies, need light, poor soil will good drainage to thrive and look their best. When Sea Holly is grown on damp, heavy soil it tends to become floppy and a dull, grey-green.

Eryngium has long roots that penetrate deeply in the soil, compostable growing cells are ideal since they allow young plants to be placed in their final positions whilst minimising root disturbance.

Eryngium can be sown all year round. Sow into seed trays using a good seed compost and covering lightly. Seeds may need a period of cold to break dormancy and enable them to germinate. This can be achieved naturally by placing the tray in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, or can be simulated by placing the tray into a fridge (around 4C is ideal) for a couple of weeks. Germination is erratic, between 5 and 90 days.

As each seed germinates we would recommend that you transplant into its own compostable growing cell using gritty compost to grow on until large and strong enough to be planted out into a sunny position.
