This looks like a really cool plant. I haven't grown one myself, but now that we have seed in stock (for the first time) I'm going to give it a try. It is an interesting looking short garden flower. The leaves are quite ornamental and remind me of Hybiscus leaves. The flowers are button like round heads mostly yellow with red centers. These curiosities are well worth growing, if only for the conversation factor!

Their germination depends on many factor including heat, cooling, sun, shade, moisture, time of sowing, etc. None of these things We can control so We can not be held responsible for them.
