Re: Dietes sp.

 

Around here they self sow readily, but I think most people who want another Dietes "vegeta" or D. bicolor just go to a nursery. Here they are just common landscape plants. As I recall I tried moving a clump without success, but a seedling grew next to where it was.

Ken,
 Thinking of such, what is the best way to propagate Dietes? I have tried dividing them before with disastrous results.

I went back to the U.C. Botanical Garden on Saturday. I checked the map, the Dietes growing at the location I photographed at the end of March is

Collection: Southern African
Catalog Number: 53.0921
Scientific Name: Dietes grandiflora
Country: South Africa

I wonder if they ever propagate it for their plant sales...
