Cultivation Details

HabitPerennial
Growth—

The seed pods are covered in hairs which stick to clothes and the fur of animals, thus providing the plant with a means of seed dispersal[1]. Although no specific reports have been seen for this species, several other members of the genus have used this to become weeds outside their native range[PFAF]. A very variable species, several forms have been named[1].
