I sowed a bunch of them in late March, 2005. They germinated in late April, and I potted them up to 1/2 gallon plant bands in June.

This was taken on August 17. They were 1 & 2 stems, 2-3' tall:

Hi there Sammy!!!! Did I send you those?

I just potted up some of my seedling and some obtained from trades. They were really tiny, with leaves no more than 1/2 inch long. That was last week. Now some of them have leaves 1.5 inches long already, so I'm potting up the rest of the bunch. I also placed a few in the gardens, but they've only shown half the growth of the potted ones. (I usually don't do pots, but this year have decided to.)

In the past, I've had about 25% of the winter sown ones bloom in their first year. Two years ago, one grew to 4.5 feet in one season.

All the best! Nicole.
