Propagation
Sow fresh seeds when ripe in containers or in situ and pick out when large enough to handle.

Division of the clump during spring and place smaller divisions in containers then grow on before planting out during summer.

Botanic information
Leaf: The palmately lobed leaves have 3-7 deep lanceolate lobes with serrated margins and are arranged in a basal rosette. The leaves are held above the ground on a slender petiole that is up to 300 mm (1 ft) long. The smaller stem leaves are similar and are arranged alternately.

Flower: The small cyathiform flowers have 5-petals and are clustered in a dense umbel that is accompanied by a whirl of papery pointed leaf-like white bracts with serrated margins. They are held high above the foliage on a slender branched scape and appear from early to mid summer.

Fruit: The dehiscence schizocarpic capsule normally splits into two 1-seeded mericarps with a connecting stalk. The small seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
