Christine - try again, but don't expect little Empress Wus. Most seeds will not come true to the parent plant. Most will be plain Jane green seedlings and you may have to grow them for 5 or so years to see what they really look like. But you MIGHT get an interesting seedling. You don't know if you don't try. Just don't make a judgement based on 2 year's growth. It might look entirely different in the third year.
