Propagation
Take soft tip cuttings of non-flowering shoots during spring and semi hardwood cuttings in summer.

General pruning information
Prune immediately after flowering to no more than one third of the old wood as flower buds take up to one year to develop into blooms. Remove dead or damaged wood and when cutting flowers, cut back to a node on the stem. The flowers appear on the previous season’s wood.
