Cultivation and Propagation

Monosis aplinii can be propagated by seed or division. The seeds should be sown in early spring in a cold frame or directly outdoors. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Division in spring or autumn is also possible. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
