I moved from Ft.Worth to Dayton(Oh.) last year and brought a Turk's Cap with us.Now the winter will kill it if I leave it outdoors so how do I propagate it?Plus,it has grown something that looks like small strawberries on it with seeds on the inside of them.Are these SEEDS?And are they good? Thanks for any help. Dirtz

I am in zone 8, so mine is in the ground year round..Yes those are seed pods and they should grow for you..Here they re-seed all over the place and also run everywhere by runner roots..I would pot the seeds and place outdoors in a protected place..They wil get some winter chill and should sprout next spring just as they would in nature. You could also pot up a small rooted piece to over winter inside.

I'm in zone 7 and mine is in the ground year round also. I have lots of seedlings under mine that came up where the seeds fall.

Dirtz, are you wanting the regular Turk's Cap or the (don't laugh) Mexican Turk's Cap?
