Propagation
Sow fresh seed from autumn to spring in containers and place in a cold frame to germinate.

Soft tip cuttings of non-the flowering shoots during summer and place in a protected environment until rooting occurs.

Botanic information
Leaf: The mid green leathery linear leaves taper to an acuminate apex and are sheathed at the base.

Flower: The single rotate flowers have 5-pale pink petals with darker pink markings and lacerated margins. They are arranged in a loose cyme that is held above the foliage on a long slender scape during summer.

Fruit: The small 4-valve cylindrical to oblong capsule contains numerous seeds with up to 900 per gram. The cultivars are normally propagated vegetatively to maintain true to type.
