PROPAGATION.
Seeds, which are rarely available, germinate
readily. More commonly, softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings
are rooted during the Summer.

It's a beautiful flower and lovely green foliage. Very nice photo :)
Beautiful flower, but it is not known to me!
Thanks for your nice comment on my blog!
Cute flower, and I don't know if I have seen it.
What an interesting plant and flower. Nice shot.
Very interesting indeed..with the white leaves..or is that the sunshine?
Never seen that one before. But sounds very easy to plant and maintain. The flowers are cute, too!
I haven't seen this flower before, Titania, but it's very nice.
Good week!
I doubt I've seen this before but from the description it looks easy to grow and most importantly it looks great as well :)
A very interesting bush with the pretty flowers and white terminal leaf. Amongst all its virtues, does it have a perfume as well?
What an interesting plant with the white leaves. I haven't seen one before. I saw a funny tree and seed pod in a car park. I have put it on my Memes blog can you identify it?
The large colored leaf and small yellow blooms are an interesting look.
(Guess I should have read the comments - others have said that.)
Thanks for posting this bloom - I've learned a new plant today.
lovely flowers, nice entry.
This particular one is my husbands fave and it hasn't bloomed here yet. I have a purple ground cover type lantana surrounding it so I cut it back and give it fert and that..(like you say..must be responding- it's got nice green buds all over. Hopefully it will go off.
Well, I haven't posted much but thought I'd say hi...
Very interesting bush with the pretty flowers and white terminal leaf.
