Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Alyogyne requires a well drained soil, but can be grown in sand, loam or clay soils. It can be grown in full sun, or in partial shade. Protection from strong winds is desirable.
Propagation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Alyogyne can be readily propagated by cuttings. 4" semi-ripe cuttings are recommended, but soft cuttings can also be successful. Cuttings taken in spring generally establish well but cuttings can be taken in early autumn if summers are very wet and winters are not too severe.
