Propagation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Early Summer
Take softwood cuttings from new growth early in the day in Spring or early Summer. Cut, neatly, a 4" approx. piece of a non-flowering shoot, pinch out the tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
In spring plant container grown shrubs into sunny position.
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Late Summer
White flowers with orange and purple marks in summer.
