Maureen I also have grown it from seed obtained from the Seed Savers Exchange a couple of years ago. I did originally have issues with getting it to germinate. Someone suggested that I prick the seed coat with a needle, soak the seeds overnight in water, and then replant the seeds. I did so and seeds that previously had not germinated in over a month did so in a week or less. I grew the plants in a container that I brought in and kept in my garage over the winter for several years. During the winter the plant was kept on the dry side and watered very infrequently and typically lost all of its leaves, but it would put them back out once the weather warmed up some. One year in the fall I decided I had had enough of overwintering the plants and just let the plants die by leaving the container outside over the winter. I got seeds on it one of the years I grew it but it was a year where it warmed up pretty very early in the spring and stayed unseasonably hot all summer long and well into the fall. The other years I had seed pods forming but they did not mature before the plants had to be cut back to bring into the garage.
