For sacrifice, growing seeds is almost the only way to breed it. If you are going to put this plant on your site for the first time, then buy seeds in a specialized store for gardeners. Perhaps your neighbors are already growing exotic targeting, and they will be able to share with you sowing material. The germination of the seeds of the sacrifice, assembled independently about 5 years. Buying seeds in the store, be sure to pay attention to the shelf life. When buying, it is better to prefer several varieties at once, for greater colorful flower composition. Consider in more detail the entire process of cultivation of sacrifice from seeds.
