    Hi everyone,

    I have allowed the above to go to seed this year, and have just collected a good few hundred.

    If anybody would like some, PM me. All it will cost is the price of 2 stamps, one to send an envelope to me, and the other for me to send it back. So I have a few to share around, I will be batching them in 25's.

        @minki , have never tried from seed myself, but will do from these. My research tells me that they should flower in year 3. And they seem fairly simple, but may take a while to germinate.

        Sow in the autumn in a sheltered spot outdoors and they'll germinate in the spring.
