Propagation
Surface sow fresh seeds when ripe (autumn) in a well-drained media, and maintain a temperature of 19ş to 24ş C. (66ş to 77ş F). Germination takes from 1 to 3 months. Prick out and pot up when they are large enough to handle and plant out after all risk of frost.

Division of the clump is reasonable successful
