Description

Elegia filacea. It is a reed-like, tufted, evergreen perennial, that grows from 0.2 to 0.8 m high and 0.1 m wide. It is compact, and does not have spreading rhizomes or stolons. Culms (stems) are slender, round and unbranched. It produces golden-tan sheaths, which drop off and leave small dark abscission rings at the nodes along the culms. Sowing : The seed are sown in the early winter season when the night temperature drops to 5–10ºC and the day temperature is 15–20ºC. Treat the seed with smoke derived from dry and wet fynbos plants material to break seed dormancy and stimulate the germination. Treatment can be done in a smoking tent or use the Instant Smoke Plus Seed Primer packets. Soak the seeds or dust them with fungicide and water the sowed seeds with fungicide once a week to prevent fungal infection. Lay the seed on the well-drained fynbos soil and cover with a finely sieved fynbos mixture. Locality: Porterville. Harvest: May 2020
