Propagation
Take cuttings using pieces of the culm with two nodes and plant vertically in a well drained medium.

Divide established clumps (rhizome) during spring with 3 to 4 canes planted in a sandy medium and placed in a humid position to establish then plant out or plant in situ in warm climates.

Botanic information
Leaf: The long lanceolate mid green leaves are 12mm (½in) wide have an acuminate apex and tend to fold upwards. The foliage emits a light perfume.

Flower: The small hermaphrodite flowers are arranged in a panicle and are pollinated by wind but appear erratically.

Fruit: The small seed is not normally seen and the plant reproduces vegetatively

Culture
Lifting
1Cut around the root ball with a saw or other implements and include rhizome buds.

2 Leaver the plant from the hole, using a shovel or crow bars.

3 Keep the root ball and foliage moist and replant immediately or wrap the root ball and stand it up vertically.

Planting
1 Dig a hole that is larger than to the root ball. The soil must be well drained if not raise the soil to give it drainage and allow the plant to grow down into to the clay. The addition of dolomite will help with soil structure. 

2 Keep the root ball and foliage moist during the operation. Be careful that culms and rhizomes do not over heat.

3 Plant the root ball below existing soil level for support and back fill with friable soil, then tamp down and water well to remove air pockets.

4 After planting add organic matter to the soil or fertilise. Plants may require staking in an open windy position and maintain ample moisture during the establishment period.
