Hey
The good news is the do well :-) But because of the temperatures and the not so Lehua friendly soil the grow very slow. I took them inside on the winter month cause I think they can't stand such cold while they are so small.

Btw. does anybody know where to get Haleakalā silversword (Argyroxiphium sandwicense) seeds? Or if it is even possible to get them?

Silversword is a endangered species and protected. Obtaining plant material next to impossible legally.

More here about Silversword here. Link to PDF file:

Thanks

It's to sad .. these are really awesome plants. I'd love to call one of them my own. But if there is no legal way I'll let it be.
