Propagation
Sow fresh seed during autumn in pots.

Take soft tip cuttings of non-flowering shoots during late spring to early summer.

Note:
Avoid pruning during winter or early spring as the oozing sap may encourage fungal disease. When used as a cut flower cut back stem to the nearest node on the stem.
