Anyone grown this succcessfullY?

I love this plant, and managed to nab a couple of cuttings in London last w/e. But last time I had one. it slowly died back, from the top of the stem fisrt and then right down to the bottom. Couldn't work out why this was. Obviously it comes indoors in winter.

Mine flowered profusely for about three years and then last winter even though it was in my polytunnel, it died down. Fortunately I had already taken cuttings and even saved the seed. Would you like a seed or two?

Strange, isn't it? Yes, thanks, that would be great if you're offering them. Is it easy to grow from seed?

I haven't tried as yet, but am going to this winter. Email me your address which you can access from my GW page: 'ionads' and I'll send you a few seeds. Iona
