Dicrocaulon ramulosum
Phyllobolus tenuiflorus
November Growth

This plant has done well both in pots and in the ground (where it grows quite large compared to the potted specimens).

CULTIVATION: D. ramulosum is a winter grower, going completely dormant (and looking like a dead stick) in the summer. During dormancy it should be kept dry -- I lost one in an area that received some summer water while another in a dry/bright shade area did fine.

PROPOGATION: I had no problem growing it from seed.
