Doronicum falconeri (1 Page of 5) The Doronicum falconeri plant species is found in E. Asia - Himalayas from Pakistan to Himachel Pradesh.. It is a member of the Compositae family. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Doronicum falconeri Family: Compositae Author: C.B.Clarke. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 0.5 Mature Width: Habitat: Alpine slopes and rocks, 3300 - 4000 metres[51].
Propagation Notes: Seed - surface sow in a greenhouse from April to June and make sure the compost does not dry out[175]. A diurnal temperature difference is beneficial to germination[175]. The seed usually germinates in 10 - 20 days at 20°c[175]. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts.
Division in autumn[200]. Very easy, larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
