My favourite species, but one I've really struggled with growing from seed. I suspect I've over-watered them, and only recently figured out that the young seedlings actually do much better in a cooler part of my greenhouse over the summer months. I've never really had trouble with the larger plants I've bought locally, but what you see here is the result of 200 seeds (with about 90% germination).

We're coming into winter now, and from what I've read I'm thinking I should increase the amount of water they get (from nearly none to a little!) now. Any other suggestions or advice would be welcome!

I'm amazed at how fast these are growing, I've had to repot them every spring for the past three seasons. Can't wait until they get to flowering size, though I'm going to have to extend my greenhouse as I'm running out of room!
