Propagation
Pre-soak the seeds in heated water 13º to 18ºC (55º-64ºF) for 24 hours prior to sowing during early spring. The seeds may require scarification.

General pruning information
These plants tolerate a light prune to a node normally after flowering. Do not prune into old wood as it will not regenerate and if the plant has become leggy and woody it will not regenerate after a hard prune. It requires replacement.
