Propagation: Asphodeline propagation involves seed sowing, division, and cuttings. Key requirements are proper light, temperature, and draining soil. Prevent root rot by avoiding over-watering. For seeds, collect in late summer, and sow in spring. For division, lift and separate offsets, replant in well-draining soil.
