Rao,
I have grown up with this plant my whole childhood. I never heard it sets seeds. Until 2 years back I have seen people are selling seeds of it. I was very surprised. I have ordered few and they have germinated and has grown to a nice size plant. Because of my negligence, it died.

When I was a kid, I had planted this by root division. Within an year it has grown like crazy and all over our house. It even bloomed very first year. Every year we used to cut it down to the ground once it�s done with the blooms. By next year again it used to grow too big with full of blooms with no care except water.

I have got this plant again from tt and eBay. I am hoping this will bloom this year. This is one of my favorite plants. It definitely needs full and hot sun. Except this I don't know much about this plant.

Thank you for sharing your memories, bunti! I certainly know how fragrances and childhood memories can be intertwined. I too grew up amongs fragrant flowers and tropicals that I miss now. Hoping to recreate those gardens, just an attempt that's all :)

I don't see an email address linked to your GW page. If you wish to chat about plants and things, drop me a line. You can email me through my GW page.

I've had one for several years and it has never bloomed - any idea as to why?
