I found this growing along a roadside in Southeast NC (8B) and am confidant its H. tubispathus. It is a well established population, extending about 150 yards along the roadside, which is regularly mowed by the local street maintenance dept. They are shaded most of the day by a Live Oak canopy, but receive strong afternoon sun. As far I know, this species is native to the gulf coast so I am curious to know how it found its way here. Have there been other populations found outside of its range? I have read the seeds are easy to germinate. Any advice on growing them to maturity for gardens? Thanks.
