The ribbon bush can be propagated from both seeds and cuttings. When seeds are sown in August they will germinate in three weeks. It also tends to seed itself in the garden. You can collect a handful of seeds and sow them in containers or plastic bags until they are large enough to be planted directly in the garden. Ribbon bush should be watered well in summer but less in winter and it needs to be pruned back after flowering. It requires very little attention because it grows easily in the garden.
