Propagation
Division of the clump during spring
Stem cuttings of non-flowering shoots during early summer and water from below, avoiding wetting the foliage.

Botanic information
Leaf: The glossy green variable leaves are ovate-lanceolate to linear but can grow up to 10mm (⅜in) wide and clasp the stem. The apex is acuminate and the soft textured leaves tend to be corrugated and softly pubescent.

Flower: The small spikelets have 1-terminal, bisexual floret and are arranged in a panicle that is up to 100mm (4in) long and appear from summer to autumn. The glumes are awned with the lower ones being longer. 

Fruit: The small caryopsis (seeds) are viable but may be difficult to germinate so the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
