How-to propagate Chamisa or Rabbitbrush

Answer 1

Chamisa can be propagated from seeds or cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. To propagate from seeds, collect mature seed heads and sow them in well-draining soil in the fall. For cuttings, take 4-6 inch cuttings from new growth and plant them in soil with good drainage. Keep the soil evenly moist until roots develop.

Rabbitbrush can be propagated from seeds or cuttings as well. To propagate from seeds, collect mature seed heads and sow them in well-draining soil in the fall. For cuttings, take 4-6 inch cuttings from new growth and plant them in moist soil. Maintain high humidity around the cuttings until roots form.
