Propagation
Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13ş to 18şC (55ş-64şF) for 24 hours.
Soft tip or semi hardwood cuttings from summer to autumn. This plant is difficult to transplant as it has a fine root system.


Botanic information
Leaf: The thick textureddull green pinnate leaves are slightly aromatic and have linear leaflets with an obtuse apex.

Flower: The small pink 4-pettled stellate flowers are arranged in an axillary cluster towards the end of the branches during spring. The stamens are fringed and the style has a knobbed tip.

Fruit: The small 4-locular capsule is explosive with one seed in each loculus. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.


General pruning information
Lightly prune immediately after flowering to encourage a bushy habit and profuse increased flowering in the following season. Cutting back at other times during the year may cause dieback.
