Sow seed in early autumn in seed beds or seed trays using a light, well-draining medium which is placed in a sunny position.

The medium could be a light, sandy soil or a mixture of bark, compost or river sand. Ordinary coarse river sand will also suffice.

Sow the light seeds evenly on a windless day, water gently and cover with a thin layer of sand or bark. The seed will germinate within two to three weeks. Prick seedlings out from the beds or trays as soon as they are large enough to be handled and plant in designated area.

This annual doesn't seem to enjoy having wet feet for too long. Therefore in areas of high winter rainfall, it is perhaps best displayed on a slope or in a rockery.

Seed will be ready for harvesting from October onwards.

Cotula duckittiae peforms well in en masse plantings, interplanted with various other annuals or as a seasonal border plant amongst other herbaceous perennials. Some of the various other annuals which either occur with this species in its natural habitat or which have been found to complement it rather well include: Felicia dubia (dwarf felicia), blue F. heterophylla , Ursinia anthemoides (marigold), U. speciosa (Namaqua-ursinia), U. cakilefolia , Heliophila coronopifolia (blue flax), Senecio elegans (wild cineraria), Dimorphotheca sinuata (Namaqualand daisy), and D. pluvialis (rain daisy or white Namaqualand daisy).
