Growing conditions
Since the homeland of this cereal is cold regions, the climate for its growth must be temperate. Broad boron tolerates wintering well even at -20 degrees. Culture growth begins quickly, so already in mid-spring it has an attractive appearance. At the same time, with the onset of summer heat, the plant may look untidy, and when grown in the open sun, it will completely dry out.

Plant propagation
There are several ways to propagate a grassy crop:
- By dividing the bush. In this case, the mother bush is divided into several parts and planted in the ground. Thus, it is convenient to control the number of plants on the site.
- The seeds. In this case, it is necessary to collect mature seeds, germinate them in a moist, warm environment, and then plant them in containers. After the seedlings reach a size of about 10 cm, they can be planted in open ground. When creating comfortable conditions for growth, there is the possibility of self-seeding. However, in a temperate climate, reproduction in this way is not aggressive, so the chance that the forest will flood the entire flower bed is small.
Self-propagation of the plant allows you to create an unusual pattern on the site, because a person is not able to control the place of entry and rooting of seeds. It is possible to prevent the self-sowing of boron boron by removing peduncles at the beginning of the formation of seeds, however, this procedure can take a lot of time if there are a lot of plants.
