Caroline--thank you for that information. I didn't even think about taking cuttings. It might be easier to do that and overwinter some plants than start them from seed each year, as slowly as these darned things grow.
I finally got germination on 12 of my 20 seeds. Most have 3-4 sets of true leaves, but there are a few slow pokes that are still just cotyledons. Mine are still in a 4 pack also, but I"m going to have to separate a few here pretty soon.
