Propagation
Sow fresh seeds during spring in a well-drained media. The seeds require the standard peeling treatment prior to sowing.

Semi hardwood cuttings taken during spring or autumn should be placed in a dryer less humid protected environment. Avoid misting benches and bottom heat.

Flower: The saccate-tubulate flowers have a pedestal up to 6 mm (Ľ in)long and the broad ovate red to yellow or orange glandular-hairy perianth segments are up to 7mm (? in) long by 6 mm (Ľ in) wide witha protruding pistil to 9mm (? in) long with a green pubescent style. The flowers are arranged in an a erect almost sessile terminal or axillary, umbel-like raceme and are accompanied by ovate-acuminate bracts up to 2 mm long that are covered in tomentum.

The oblong-ellipsoidal seed iis up to 12 mm (˝ in) long by 3 mm (? in) wide with a short wing at both ends and the apical wing is up to 2 mm (2/16 in) long. The small seeds are viable but the plant can be reproduced vegetatively.
