Propagation
Soak the seeds over night in hot water to soften the hard seed-coat Then sow in containers or directly to a prepared bed and germination will occur within 6 to 10 weeks.

Take soft cuttings during the growing period.

General pruning information
Lightly prune immediately after flowering to encourage a bushy habit and profuse increased flowering in the following season. Cutting back at other times during the year may cause dieback.
Cut flower but must have reasonable length of stem.
