Turk’s cap is a tough, drought-tolerant plant native to our area. As Heather Kirk-Ballard explains on this edition of Get it Growing, its beautiful flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and pollinators. | LSU AgCenter

Turk's cap are great for propagating via cuttings. Cut a bit of stem the diameter and length of a pencil, trim off all the leaves, scrape the bark off the bottom 1/4"-1/2" of the stick, then place it in chlorine-free water. In 2-3 weeks it will have produced roots and new leaves. Once the roots are about 1" long, plant it in a nursery pot for the winter. Keep it on your windowsill, then plant it in the yard once the weather has started to warm up. | Merriwether's Foraging Texas
