Still going strong, been looking for seed heads or I should say seeds as I can see the seed heads but nothing on there. I was hoping to be able to grow my own from seeds. Any ideas?
Well if you collect the dried flower bracts there is a tiny seed in the centre. I have collected mine and dried them out. Mine are still flowering away too.
Yes,Christine the dry flowers will have your seeds.😊 I wanted to as Yu if could get some ok m seed from you or this? Also,would uh share how u made this display for it to run on,plz?😊😍
@Acetaker I put a cane in each corner of the square pot filled up with compost and I had 1 yellow and 1 orange plant and put them in the pot and filled in with compost (I also mix pearlite into my compost to retain water and to aid drainage) once I'd planted them I tied the canes together at the top to make a wigwam and wound the plants tendrils around the canes to encourage them to grow up. I had to keep helping them as they would grow in all directions. As they grew up they blended together😊
@Acetaker I looked today and I put 6 canes in 4 in the corners and 1 at the front and 1 at the back I could even have 8 in but I'm thinking just 6. We've had a frost so it's been hit by that so I'll be on the hunt for seed pods. I've taken the seeds of the other plant for you so just drying out and allowing any critters to get off.
@Acetaker I moved a couple of things the other day but it killed my back so the garden is going to have to look after itself this year. I can't risk anymore damage before my operations in December. Recuperating I won't be able to do anything either so it's live or die unfortunately. It's so frustrating if I do go out there & not being able to do things so to spare anymore I just keep telling myself when I'm better if needs be it can have a makeover. I'm stressed enough without worrying about it.
