Propagation
Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13º to 18ºC (55º-64ºF) for 24 hours.

Take soft tip or semi hardwood cuttings from summer to autumn. This plant is difficult to transplant as it has a fine root system.

General pruning information
Lightly prune immediately after flowering to encourage a bushy habit and to 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.

Botanic information
