How to Propagate Cliff-rose?
Cliff-rose is commonly propagated from seeds, as vegetative methods like cuttings can be less reliable. Key factors for successful germination include well-draining soil, full sun exposure, and a temperature range of 60-70°F. Stratification, a process of simulating natural winter conditions, might be necessary to break seed dormancy. The overall difficulty is moderate, largely due to the additional stratification step which may be unfamiliar to novice gardeners. Steps to propagate cliff-rose from seed are: 1) Collect seeds from mature plants, 2) Stratify seeds by refrigerating for 30-60 days, 3) Sow seeds in well-draining soil in early spring, 4) Provide consistent moisture without waterlogging, 5) Transplant seedlings once they are well-established.
