Life is "mind over matter". If I d
Jeane--
My neighbor had a Crosandra growing all last summer. She bought it at a nursery.
in an 8" pot. She planted it in a pretty huge pot. (NOT relevant)..It grew very bushy.
Come fall--it kind of dried up and i was always collecting the seeds from it.

Odd--but the seeds are in a sheath like oats would be. The sheath is rough and "sharp"
if you stroke it the wrong way. When dry---just put on a pair of garden gloves and rub them until they all fall loose. Then--let the seed pods dry and remove the
seeds inside them.
I don't know anything else much to tell you. Wish I had one of these to plant next year!
The blooms were beautiful.
