I hope my seeds germinate...these are amazing plants... going to try to keep it over winter inside... just in case the outside ones don't survive.

Lori, you could probably collect seeds from them too, for next year. If I'm remembering correctly, the seeds are very tiny like powder almost. A friend gave me the origional plant (pink) that died over winter the second year but fortunately dropped lots of seeds. Some winters they survive, some they don't but thank God for the seeds. I'm zone 6A.

Two years I bought a white one and this year it's finally starting to reproduce a little bit. I think I see 4 or 5 plants so far.

Good luck with yours !

Thanks Di...Planted the seeds out there in a nice shady spot and I check on them every morning...and give them a little spritz of water if the soil look like it's too dry... I'm really, really hoping I can get them to grow... you're right the seeds are like red dust. looked like I was planting Cayenne pepper...lol.
