Tragopogon
Tragopogon pratensis (Yellow goatsbeard) grows freely in the verges around where I live. I have collected a few seedheads and would like to incorporate them into my wild flower garden. Any perticular growing instructions please?
I have also discovered a small patch of Purple goatsbeard (Tragopogon porrifolius) growing in some barren land near bye. I have also collected a small quantity of seed heads ( less than 5%). Are the planting requirements similar to the yellow variety?
Finally, if I were to plant both varieties in the same area would they cross polenate and lose their individual caractoristics.
Thank you, in anticipation of any advice.
