In the past I've just waited until the seed cases are brown and beginnning to open, then I cut the stalk off and take it to where I want them to grow and shake vigorously. In the spring there'll be lots of little plants and when they're big enough to handle I thin them out and transplant as necessary.
Sadly that was some years ago and having left that house at the wrong time of year I couldn't bring any with me - there followed several years of having only a shady courtyard garden until now - that's why I'm so keen to get some established again.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It is a new plant for me and one which I hope I can keep going around the garden. I'm keeping an eye on the seed pods and hubs is instructed to forget about his cementing until the pods are ready. I'm sure I can find him something more meaningful and interesting to do
