Propagation
Seed - the plant rarely flowers and so seed is not often produced[1]. Bulbils - these are often formed in profusion and are the easiest method of propagation[1]. They can withstand long periods of adverse conditions and so are easily stored for several months before planting them out directly into their permanent positions[1].
