Chascanum cernuum is grown by means of cuttings at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. It can be propagated any time of the year. Take cuttings of between 40-70mm long and dip them in rooting hormone powder which will aid the formation of roots. Use 1:1 ratio polystyrene and bark mixture as a rooting medium. Place cuttings in a mist unit with a heated bench. They root fairly easily and by week 2-3 roots will have formed on most cuttings. Remove the cuttings from the mist unit and place in an area where they can be hardened-off for up to two weeks. The cuttings will now be ready for potting-on. Feed regularly until they are of a good, healthy size. Pinching back will help ensure a good-looking, bushy shrublet.

This herbaceous perennial will do well in most gardens where it will perform best in full sun or light shady conditions. It is ideally suitable for the herbaceous border, and with its fine texture it will play-off well against the coarser-textured Pelargonium cordifolium 'Valentine', P. tomentosum, P. odoratissimum, P. betulinum, P. hispidum, Phygelius aequalis, Cotyledon orbiculata and Scabiosa africana. It also grows well with Scabiosa incisa, Cineraria saxifraga, Felicia dregei, F. amelloides, F. aethiopica and Helichrysum cymosum.
