I got seeds for these in the seed swap here Nov. 2017. I planted them Feb 1st, 2018 indoors and they have grown very well. I have 5 plants that are now 6 inches tall with 5 nice leaves each. At present they are in 4" pots on my porch, where they get filtered sun most of the day. I water them every 5 days with rain water from my rain barrel. By fall I'll have to move them up to 6" pots. I can hardly wait for their lovely flowers I've seen in pictures. Maybe by next year they will be old enough for flowers.
