Propagation
Sow fresh seed during spring and maintain a temperature of 16º to 18º C. (61º to 64º F). and it will normally germinate between 15 and 20 days.

Take soft tip cuttings from summer to autumn.

Culture
Rich soil increases growth but produces fewer flowers and leggy plants tend to split as the stems are brittle.

Botanic information
Leaf: The leaves are palmatifid with 3 to 5 lobes that are up to 30mm (1⅛in) long by 20mm (¾in) wide. The base is cordate and both sides the leaf are covered in rough hairs. The apex is acute to acuminate and the slender petiole is up to 40 mm (1⅝in) long.

Flower: The nodding flowers are campanulate to cyathiform and consist of 5-broad petals that are white, pink, red, crimson, yellow, orange to cream and lilac. The prominent protruding staminal column contains yellow stamens and the flowers are solitary or arranged in a cyme appearing throughout summer.
 
Fruit: The nutlet is a schizocarp but is not normally produced. The small seeds if produced are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
