The concertina plant flowers from June until October (2). The pretty flowers attract bees, bumble bees, and sometimes even moths, which pollinate the plant. Tiny seeds develop following pollination, and their light weight allows them to be carried away from the parent plant by the wind. The dust-like seeds are blown into rock crevices or under bushes where, once sufficient moisture is available, germination will occur. Like many plants, while thousands of seeds may germinate, only a small percentage of this will survive to be mature, adult plants. Concertina plants may live for over 60 years (7).
