Anomatheca laxa: - Page 2

If you wish to harvest your seeds, keep an eye open on the changing hues of the seed pod; for once it opens, the seeds will be broadcast around your garden.

I personally like to let them set seed and naturalise where they will.

For me, half the joy is seeing them come up the following year in places I would never dream of planting them.

Here is a seedling from last season, small, but still delightful. Even seedlings which are only one year old, will set viable seeds. In my opinion, Anomatheca generally look right where they have decided to grow.

Although I'm somewhat fanatical on my growings; I'm not a great interventionist. I generally like to let Nature run her course; figuring She knows better than I.

cheers - Gary
