I saw the parent plant on the street in Japan back when I was studying there so it was actually easier to transport seeds back to Germany than cuttings. :) I came to sowing them only ca. two years later and i love the results so far. <br />Hm I don't think it can get so huge when potted. (haha, it would be a disaster, since I have no room). It's compact at the moment so fingers crossed :DRikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-14061298697161077612012-10-09T18:31:54.066+02:002012-10-09T18:31:54.066+02:00Oops I didn't even see those links. Yeah, I ha...Oops I didn't even see those links. Yeah, I have seen them growing on the roadside in Spain (my partner considers them a weed there, but I really like them). I think you must be a little crazy, to try to grow from seeds a plant that can easy be propagated. Or it means you are a true plant enthusiast! I guess we are all crazy :) I will have to give them a try, do you think they would be nice in a window box, overflowing?

I got the seeds from a plant on the roadside (see the link in my post). It was blooming so beautifully, I had to have it at home. :) Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-78339894650243235192012-10-09T17:46:09.487+02:002012-10-09T17:46:09.487+02:00Never thought about this plant, but wow those leaf...Never thought about this plant, but wow those leaf textures are cool. I did a Google search and it seems like they are an all around good plant, perfect for city or garden, hot and cold. How are you managing to kill them?
