Propagation & Cultivation
Propagation is through seeds. Each plant yields hundreds of seeds that fly in the wind, spreading the plant to new locations.Once the flowers mature into seeds, the sepals open up completely holding many long brown seeds, having white tufts of hair at the end, called pappus. These seeds are wind-dispersed like dandelion seeds and can fly long distances, helping the plant spread to new areas.
