After spreading seed yearly from one plant within feet of a 2016 (Calfire/County)disturbed :( clearance area on our road. The patch of them has steadily grown to large amounts even on a dry year like 2021 was, so I felt comfortable taking some seed finally. Also interesting that the gophers had eaten the base of the plants (probably just as beautiful underground as above ground) and left the dry flowers stalks un touched, so I was able to spread seed to an even wider area by shaking those around.
