Name: Anne Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) Only dead fish go with the flow!
I sprouted some years ago by sticking them on moist paper towel which I folded over and wrapped in plastic wrap and set it on a window sill. Worked pretty well! Don't remember how long it took to germinate though. I ended up with 10 plants and some bloomed the first year!
FYI - these guys do not mind at all being dug up and moved around even when mature .. they have fairly shallow roots and don't even blink.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
