Hey Prynce,
The
seeds are where the
flowers were.....
If you want to save them, just let them dry
right where they stand and when they're brown,
cut the stalk right off and shake where you want the new babies...............Or shake into a envelope, like a mailing envelope.
Transplants never fair too well, some do survive, but I've heard, when you transplant them they don't survive because the cats eat them almost as fast as when you
plant them.
But when you grow them from
seed they fair much better and
growing to large is size has a much better chance.
I tend to believe that, as my mom's place on the hill has them, they reseed prolifically and have tried to bring some down here over the years for a neighbor that had cats, and everytime we planted it, her yard, my yard, the back 40, everywhere we planted it, they rolled in it, pulled it up, ate it, or it died!!
Then I read somewhere's about that and just brought a stalk of the
plant down and had some fresh dirt tilled up and shook it over that and then laid down the stalk on top of the dirt,
and that's where it grew!!!
If I'd a known it was that reasonably easy!!!
And the cats didn't abuse it like before.
Must be the
plant smells when transplanted, the leaves are broken or the roots crushed or just something.
But, let it dry naturally.
If you want to save it, wait as long as possible on the
plant, as they know the drying process best. That's always been my theory on it, but, then just cut the
flower stalk and shake into an envelope.
Hope this info helps!!
