HOW TO PROPAGATE

Method 1: Division

Most of the young growth will be out on the edges of an established clump and sometimes, if you remove all the young growth, the original plant may fade away altogether. Best to break up the entire plant unless you are digging up small ones like i did.

Push a spade into the ground all the way around an established plant and gently pry it up out of the ground.

Shake it to remove any clinging soil and then, using a hose, wash away the remaining soil to reveal the root system.

Carefully tease apart the divisions (they are sometimes quite obvious) or cut them apart with a sharp heavy-duty knife, being sure to include roots, some of the woody rhizome, and flower stems in each division. Go for three to four divisions to begin with.

Plant the new divisions into well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.

Method 2: Seed

Seed can be collected after flowering has finished, usually around december and can be scattered directly onto the ground where you want them to grow, or into trays of potting mix. the key is to sow the seeds in winter because they need a period of cold moisture to trigger the germination process.
