I have a question and can’t find the question button.
Do these multiply on their own? If so, how readily and easily?

Achira makes seeds–very satisfying, heavy, round black seeds. they generally do not self-seed but you can collect the seeds and start them in the usual manner. you can also divide the crowns. so basically the plant does multiply but it generally needs help in doing this.

I would appreciate some guidance on all plants that grow in seasonal wetlands forest conditions in zone 9 (or 8-10I Plants, trees and anything else.
I want to do some planting for food naturalizing in this seasonal wetland forest.
Our natural soil is acidic, based on the pine trees everywhere, and I want to grow as much.. food, medicine, fruit, nuts, herbals, etc..
We will be amending the soil as needed, but would love to start with what is happy there.
Many thanks in advance,
Kay
