Propagating Lampranthus (Ice Plant) from Seeds and Cuttings

Growing Lampranthus aurantiacus and L. productus. Can I get seeds? How? How to make them spread faster?

Lampranthus Propagation

Seeds: After blooming, small brownish seed pods form. When dry, collect—seeds are tiny, black/gray/brown, smaller than poppy seeds. Cuttings (faster spread): Stick individual stems directly in ground—they root in ~2 weeks. Search tip: Google "Lampranthus aurantiacus" or "Lampranthus productus" for more details.
