Propagation
Sow fresh seed during early spring and pre-soak seeds in heated water 13º to 18ºC (55º-64ºF) for 24 hours. Seeds may require scarification (nicking treatment). Seeds normally germinate within 60 days.

Semi hardwood cuttings taken during summer and apply bottom heat.

Botanic information
Leaf: The blue green dissected leaves are subpinnatisect, to tripinnatisect or bipinnatisect and up to 60 mm (2⅜ in) long and wide in outline with a short petiole. The individual narrow-linear lobes are up to 30 mm (1⅛ in) long with a pungent apex and have revolute margins that obscure the underside that is covered in rusty coloured pubescence.

Flower: The tubulate flowers have a pedestal up to 26 mm (1⅛ in) long and the oblong bright red perianth segments are up to 20 mm (¾ in) long by 4 mm (⅛ in) wide with a protruding yellow pistil up to 35 mm (1⅜ in) long. The flowers are arranged in an umbel-like terminal raceme that is up to 70 mm (2⅔ in) by 80 mm (3⅛ in) wide and is accompanied by ovate to linear bracts up to 6 mm (¼ in) long. The flowers appear from winter to early summer and are pollinated by birds.

Fruit: The oblong-ellipsoidal follicle is up to 18 mm (⅞ in) long by 12 mm (½ in) wide with a slightly pubescent pericarp. The obovoid seeds have compressed flange-like margins and are up to 10 mm (⅜ in) long by 5 mm (¼ in) wide and surrounded by a short wing. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
