How to Propagate Silverswords?
The primary propagation method for silverswords is through seeds. Key success factors include high elevation conditions, well-draining soil, and full sun exposure. Special considerations involve mimicking natural stratification by subjecting seeds to a cool, moist period before sowing. Propagation is generally difficult due to the plant's specific habitat needs and low germination rates. For propagation, (1) stratify seeds by refrigerating for 4-6 weeks, (2) sow in well-draining soil under full light, (3) maintain soil moisture without waterlogging, and (4) transplant seedlings once established.
