Propagation
Sow fresh seeds during early spring in pots and plant out when large enough to handle.

Take semi hardwood cuttings during early summer and place in a well drained media and keep moist.

Botanic information
Leaf: The sessile grey-green cuneate to spathulate leaves are lobed at the rounded apex and are up to 10mm (⅜ in) wide. Both surfaces are densely covered in white tomentose and are arranged alternately to spirally along the pubescent branchlets.

Flower: The terminal radiate flowers have yellow tubulate disk florets and mauve to purple linear ray florets that are up to 10mm (⅜ in) long. They appear solitary at the end of the branchlets on a short peduncle and appear from winter to late summer.

Fruit: The tiny linear-oblong glaborous achenes have obvious ribs and the pappus has very slender hairs. The small seeds are viable but the plant can be reproduced vegetatively.
