My guess for the result is: it will be large, rebloom, be evergreen, have a dark red eye and lighter red self.

At the beginning of next year because; just as the pod begins to open, it's ready to pick. Then dry for about 24 hours in an open area (I use an egg carton). Then gently squeeze each seed looking for firmness (a bad seed is either empty or very, very squishy). Put in a small container or small ziplock bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 weeks. When getting ready to sow, first give each seed the pinch test and then soak in water (in your refrigerator for another 4 weeks.
That is 2 months minimum (the stay in the fridge can be longer, the ones I got today are in there until I start them in January). If they are as I suspect evergreen, you won't want to start them until next year as they will be too tender to do well in the cold.
