    In my experience this one will seed itself without help from us.

    When the seeds start dropping they are ripe, collect some and sow them, fresh seed is always best. They don't need heat to germinate, I reckon to leave sown seed outside til after the worst of winter then bring into a cold GH so I can watch them germinateimage
