Thanks

Vera

I would pluck it out of the ground but it's located in a location where that is not feasible (Steppe-Toe Butte a National Landmark near my home)....I thought a small cutting would be more responsible but it looks like I will have to locate seed instead...I'll have to check with our local native plant nursery.

Thanks again,

Vera

Do you really find them common across SK? I've only seen them growing in the west block of the Cypress Hills.

Excuse me if I've read your post wrong, but perhaps consider this before removing this plant from the wild, it's listed provincially as status S2 (rare) by the SK Conservation Data Centre (S1 very rare -> S5 common).

Here's a further definition of S2: Imperiled; may be susceptible to extirpation because of some factor of its biology

If anyone in Sask wants the plant, it's easy from seed, and you can buy them mail order from ALCLA in Alberta.
