The seeds can be removed from the plant after the seed heads have dried. The seeds have a hard seed coating and can be stored for a few years under the right conditions. Seeds can be sowed directly in an open bed or in a container.

Hesperantha pauciflora adapts very well in a pot, but good drainage in the growing media is very important. It needs medium-grained, washed river sand that can be obtained from most nurseries. A medium consisting of two parts river- or industrial sand, one part loam and one part compost is recommended.

A layer of broken stone or bark chips should always be placed over the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot or container. If using some compost, place that over the drainage holes and fill the rest of the container with the sandy mixture.

Water the plant well and then not again until the leaves start appearing. Thereafter a good soaking once a month should be sufficient. No water should be given during the dormant months.

When transplanting the bulbs, the best time is from March to May. Follow the same instructions as mentioned above.
