Cultivation and Propagation

Goodenia prostrata can be propagated by division or by seed. Division should be done in spring or early autumn.

Plant them out in the spring. Seeds should be sown in spring in a cold frame, and the seedlings transplanted into individual pots when they are large enough to handle.
