Eriogonum umbellatum

Sulphar Flower 2

Seed

2006  I collected a small amount of seed and planted it in my big rock garden in a sunny area. Two sulphar plants sprouted in 2008 and grew very slowly.

Transplant

Sulphar Flower 3

2006  In late spring, I dug a small piece out of a sulphar flower mat. Sulphar flower plants forms mats by sending out shallow runners. I separated the cutting into distinct plants and put them in a sunny spot in my big rock garden.

2008   Three of the plants survived but are not growing rapidly nor have they started to spread yet. The above images is one of the transplanted sulphar flower plants.

Future Plans

2008  I would like to collect seed from established plants and maybe try to transplant a few more.
