Propagation
Sow fresh seed and scarify by soaking in warm water for 24 hours and or nicking seed coat and maintain a temperature between 13º to 18º C.
Take semi-hardwood cuttings during summer. The routes develop quickly and care should be taken not to disturb them when potting up.
Botanic information

Flower: The tubulate flowers vary in the depth of colour from light to dark pink and are arranged in a spider-like cluster. They appear from late winter to spring or sporadically throughout the year.
Fruit: The small woody boat-shaped follicle contains two winged seeds. The small seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
