While the seeds are available online, Dimorphotheca chrysanthemifolia is not known to be cultivated in South Africa and thus detailed knowledge of its preferred growing conditions is not known. However, it should have similar growing conditions to other perennial Dimorphotheca, such as Dimorphotheca cuneata, and should thus preferably be propagated from seed. In the winter-rainfall Western Cape, sow seeds in late-autum-early winter, ideally in pots or seedling trays, as germination time is short (maximum 10 days). Use a well-drained, acidic soil medium. Unlike with annual Dimorphotheca, do not sow close together as the adult perennial plants can grow quite large. The growing medium must be slightly moist before sowing. Cover the seeds with fine-milled bark or any other fine medium such as seedling mix or sand and water them. Do not bury the seeds deep, up to a max of 5 mm, or this will result in deformed or ‘leggy’ stems. During the seedling stage, make sure the soil is always moist but never waterlogged to prevent damage to the roots, and reduce the chance of fungal infections and pests. Importantly, as with all other Dimorphotheca, this species requires a position in full sun. Transplant in late winter when conditions are warmer and less overcast. Seedlings will grow rapidly once transplanted if in full sun. This will provide plants time to establish before flowering in September-November. Soil should be acidic to neutral (pH 5-7), sandy and well-drained, and avoid strong fertilisers such as manure but it can be fertilised with well-rotted compost applied as a mulch or infrequently with seaweed-based organic fertilisers or slow-release fertilisers. Once fully grown, the plant can be supported to ensure it grows erect as in the wild plants or left to straggle across rocks in the garden (Eliovson 1957).
