Propagation
Take semi-hardwood cuttings during summer and apply bottom heat.

Sow fresh seed from autumn to spring and in cold climates place in a cold frame to germinate.

Flower: The small white 5 petalled crateriform flowers are arranged in compound corymb towards the end of the branches and appear on the previous season’s growth during spring.
