Seed Adventure (Dispersal) – By “kayak, Hot Air Balloon or parachute" It seems to reason, that with somewhere between 200 to 2,000 seeds per capsule that any of these three methods of seed dispersal would ensure the success of the local Seedbox population.
Short lived Perennial - This remains to be seen as we have only been raising Seedbox for one season. Even if this is the case, considering the number of seeds per capsule the odds of viable seed look good!
2021 - In the summer of 2020 I planted several young Seedbox plants in a moist, sunny location, a small dogwood bush provides protection from the hot afternoon sun. I have so many questions about this little darling. Does it spread easily? Can it hold its own against its neighbor a robust patch of Golden Ragwort? Does it fill in and become bushier with time? Spring of 2021 will reveal the answers to my questions.
