As with the other herbaceous species of Ursinia, such as U. sericea or U. chrysanthemoides, this daisy can be propagated both from seeds and cuttings. Harvest plant material from healthy, vigorously growing, stock plants in summer, from around November throughout summer. Cuttings must be taken from the current season’s growth. Ensure that the material is kept cool and dipped in 10% Kelpak solution to reduce shock. A 50:50 mix of well-composted bark and perlite is used for propagation by cuttings. Place the cuttings tray in a 70–80 % humidity propagation unit, on heated benches with intermittent misting. Humidity can also be achieved by placing a clear plastic cover on the seed tray. Cuttings normally take 3 weeks to root.

When propagating by seed, a mixture of bark and sand is used. Sow the seeds thinly on the medium and lightly cover them with sifted sand or a very fine compost. Place the seed trays in a sunny, well-lit growing area and water when necessary. Too much watering will kill the seeds. Germination can take between 3–4 weeks.

This fine-leaved shrublet makes a wonderful border plant where it contrasts well with coarser-leaved plants, and plants with blue, white or red flowers.
