Just found this
"Kakabeak can be propagated from stem cuttings about finger length, or perhaps the easiest way is from seed. Soak the seeds overnight in warm water and sow the next day. They germinate really"

Not being a gardener I am wondering what I should be doing with the pod things (like pea pods) that have replaced the flowers on my Kaka Beak/Ngutukākā .
Does anyone have a clue?
Plants from our garden, dates I took pics.

Native plants can be less showy than cultivated / imported types. But their subtlety has grown on me over the years.
Here are some NZ natives - 3 from our garden, 1 from nearby.
* Clianthus (aka Kaka Beak)
* Sophora (Kowhai)
* Hebe Diosmifolia
* Koru from a tree fern
