Hi Tim . I once grew Anisotome haastii for a street planting in Te Anau . They were planted in a 500mm high raised bed full of soil . They did really well for a few years and were often photographed . Usually labelled as a new Queen Anne's Lace of some sort . I think they flowered too well because they crashed and burned after 3 years . A.pilifera and Gingidia spp grow well with a cool root run and no afternoon sun . Grew Anisotome cauticola for many years and I feel this species deserves a chance . I will see if I can get a few pics for posting

They are flowering well this year and we have found Anisotome Valley so if you want a few seeds let me know

Doug -Will post "on the way there" pictures soon

Thanks Steve - if there is any seed available I would like to try some of these again (along with the wondrous aciphyllas). It sounds from Anisotome valley that they are as prolific and fecund as a lot of umbels in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Aciphyllas can be prolific and cover wide areas but the Anisotomes are little more selective about where they grow . Usually require a little more shade and moisture underfoot . It was nice to see so many in Anisotome Valley . They also don't flower every year but it looks like they are all flowering this year . So a good year to do umbelliferae seed .
Anisotome cauticola is an interesting plant because it prefers to grow at lower altitudes on steep banks or rockfaces in the drier inland areas . It maybe easier  to adapt to your climate . I've grown it before and it looks good in cultivation . Unfortunately I never took a picture of it and the few on google are only small plants . There are some on the way to one of my work sites so I will take a few pics and grab some seed later
