Hey there,
I am searching for ways to increase seed production in Phalaris brachystachys. I have the feeling that I used more seeds to sow it then I harvested from the plants afterwards.
One thing I discovered is that when sown in large pots the seed heads get much bigger so there might be more seeds.
I asked my self if the pollination on my plants was good enough. When the plants developed the pollen I ruffled the plants so that they can pollinate each others. Maybe that was not enough.
I also discovered that many plants standing around the Phalaris show little grass seedlings which indicates that I lost many seeds through the wind.
Any experience or ideas on this?
