Propagation
Fresh or dried seeds should be soaked in boiling water for 10-20 seconds or exposed to heat by burning straw above them and then stratified for two months at 5º C (41º F). 

Sow seeds in flats and when germination occurs within 2-3 months prick out when large enough to handle and place in a cold frame.

Heeled semi-hardwood cuttings up to 80 mm (3⅛

Botanic information
Leaf: The silvery green leaves are sessile or have a very short petiole and are ovate to oblong ovate up to 30 mm (1⅛ in) wide. The apex is acute or abruptly acuminate and the base is deeply cordate. They are covered in fine short silvery pubescence giving it a felty texture and are overlapping along the stem. 

Flower: The tiny urceolate flowers have 5-sepals and petals that are fused to form an urn-shape that spreads at the apex and normally contains 10-stamens. The pubescent pedestal is up to 10 mm (⅜ in) long and the pendant flowers are arranged in a panicle-like terminal raceme that is up to 40mm (1½in) long and appear from late winter to spring.

Fruit: The red to brown or orange brown berry-like drupe is spherical with a smooth thick pulpy outer layer that is covered in short hairs. It contains numerous small seeds that maybe winged and are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
