Growth—

We have very little information on this plant and do not know if it will succeed in Britain, though it is worthwhile trying it outdoors as a spring-sown annual.

Propagation

Seed - we have no information on this species but suggest sowing the seed in situ in late spring or early summer, only just covering the seed and ensuring that it does not dry out. Covering the seed with a sheet of glass may help germination. Cite as: Temperate Plants Database, Ken Fern. temperate.theferns.info. 2026-02-21. <temperate.theferns.info/plant/Deinandra+fasciculata>
