I have some seed head globes.
I would like some advice on when,where, how etc., with regards to
propagating them.
Thank you
mark b
In my garden (fairly dry sandy soil) they self-propagate freely from
seeds
dropped by the previous year's plants. Try leaving the seeds in the
garden
where you want them to grow, possibly covering them with a light
sprinkling
of soil to stop birds eating them all.

Thanks for replying. One more thing, do the seeds look like just a husk
with
no clearly defined seed?

I assume so - if you mean the spike-shaped objects that drop off the flower
head, after the small blue flowers have faded - although I have never
dissected a "husk" to check if there was a small seed inside the "husk".
