Propagation
Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13ş to 18şC (55ş-64şF) 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 for profuse increased flowering in the following season. Cutting back at other times during the year may cause dieback.
