Notes:
The species always regenerated vegetatively, a view more-or-less supported by Flora NZ 4: 88 where it says its spread is "mainly vegetatively by the thick roots". So here's a seedling to prove it can establish by seed. We don't grow this species though it's in neighbours' gardens and waste areas within maybe 100 m of this seedling.
