I know it'll take a long time for the fruit to ripen, I'm just not sure how long. Seed starting is a whole other thing - All I know about starting from seed is that it will take many many many years before it blooms. Good thing I like the foliage.
I actually didn't expect so many to "take". I just squished together blooms and my kitty Delilah helped by rubbing her face on each bloom.
