It’s crazy how vigorously these plants grow and spread (here in N. California), yet how resistant they are to transplanting or propagation!

Brilliant video. Could you please upload a video on how to raise Romneya from seeds?

[@Burncoose]

Hi there. Romneya's can be grown from seed, we don't have a video about this (yet?maybe?) but we do have a 3 part care article about growing shrubs from seeds which might be useful : www.burncoose.co.uk/site/content.cfm?ref=Shrubs+and+Trees+-+Seeds+-+1%29+Collecting+Seeds

Ive tried seed, standard root cuttings with no joy. Also very hard to find plants.

@@stephengolds9679 I bought 2 plants from Langthorns plantery in Essex, which charge £10 for p&p and they were like £9.45. No flower last year and this year, I don't even know where they have gone. NO FLOWER AGAIN! I did manage to have some success from seeds, but don't even ask me where it has gone. I bought them on ebay and they were pretty cheap. A very sorry saga!

@@aym280 I look at it as a personal challenge now, I’m going to collect roots and try again.

At 0:44 he says "...except that Romneya will not root." If he really means that, why bother to do it? Maybe I'm not understanding what he means.
