A minimum of 3 years. So I am just at the beginning of my second generation of my hybrid, and that is with just one plant. The others from my first generation have not bloomed yet - maybe this year though I want to see what we get and then perhaps cross the best of those. Long term project. I have some of my "babies" farmed out/fostered with friends. We are all waiting anxiously to see what we get. THe one that actually bloomed was with a friend, and she was nice enough to hand it back over to me - after we crossed it with itself and both took seeds. Sometime this next year I will give her back at least one offset from her parent "Fire 'n Ice as we named it. A HUGE exercise in patience, that will probably outlive me!
