Species Characteristics

Propagation

By Seed

Sow seeds in early autumn in seed trays with a light, well-drained medium. Cover seed lightly with a thin layer of compost or white sand and water thoroughly with a fine spray. Move trays to a slightly shaded area. Medium must be kept moist at all times. Seed will germinate between 4-6 weeks.

By Cutting

Cuttings can be taken throughout the year. Depending on the availability of material, take stem cuttings of 50-70 mm, cut below the node and dip in a rooting hormone to stimulate rooting. Place the cutting in prepared holes in a moist, well-draining rooting medium and transfer to a cold frame or slightly shaded area. Monitor cuttings regularly to ensure the medium maintain its moisture. Rooting takes 3-4 weeks. Once more roots have developed, cuttings can be potted up.
