fiwit said:Jo, I'd like to share some seeds with my semi-local native nursery. They don't currently carry it, but it would be a great addition to their stock. Would it bother you if I did that?


That is very cool! It will help to get the plant out there more so more people can have it & more insects can enjoy it. Thumbs up And Josephine will have started it all in motion. Hurray!

Great to see all the interest! I have one but can see from your picture it deserves more space and sun. I will try softwood propagation. Thanks!

Yes Anna, cuttings are the best way to propagate this plant. I must say that the soil where this plant is growing is very sandy, red sand. Smiling

Linda, hang on to those seeds, I have a feeling people will be clamoring for them! I can't wait to get mine from Frostweed, but it helps if you remember to send SASE instead of letting it hang on the door! DUH! Rolling on the floor laughing

I received everyone's envelopes and I will be sending the seed after Christmas, I am afraid that right now it is not a good time with all the mailing going on. Smiling
