Crepis incana

[Diane Clement]

Does anyone know a supplier of Crepis incana plants or seed in the US?  I've had an enquiry from someone in Maine. 
Although I know several people who grow the plant in the UK, the plants rarely make viable seed here.  I'm not sure if that is due to lack of summer heat or the need for a second plant.  I'll pass on any contacts to the person who contacted me.

Here's a picture of mine at its best last year (picture taken late July 2011)

My Crepis never sets seeds.

Yours is a gorgeous plant. How often do you divide it and when?

I've never divided it, I would have to demolish my crevice garden to do it   
It's got too big for the crevice and I'd like to propagate it.  I've been told to take cuttings but I'm not sure of the best time?

For cuttings a friend simply pulls bits off and sticks them in the ground

You can take root cuttings, remember its a dandelion
Dig a little bit down next to the plant then break a root off and chop it into 5cm pieces remembering what is the top and poke into a pot.
Best not to do it on a hot day incase the plant wilts.
Lucky it doesn't seed.
