Propagation
Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13º to 18ºC (55º-64ºF) for 24 hours. The seeds may require scarification. Germination is difficult and may take up to 2 years.
Take cuttings during summer and placed on a misting bench.
Botanic information
Leaf: The dull green leaves are narrow-oblanceolate and have a waxy covering. The leaves are arranged spirally or oppositely and tend to lay close along the stem.
Flower: The 2-lipped labiate flowers are solitary in the leaf axils giving a raceme-like appearance during spring. The buds are yellow and the pedicel is long and thin.
Fruit: The 2 to 4 chambered hard and woody drupe is indehiscent, dry and sometimes splitting at the apex. There are 1 to 3 hard-coated seeds per chamber and they are difficult to germinate. The plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
