Hi Bren

Thompson and Morgan sell the seeds and there shouldn't be a problem with growing... it is a perennial that you are advised to treat as a biennial.

I have grown the almost identical G. palmatum from seed before. Quite easy really, though I would start them from the end of February onwards on a bright but not hot windowsill. If you have enough seed, split the batches. Normal seed compost with a covering of sharp grit. The seed wants to be it's own depth under. If fresh, it should come up quickly (week to ten days).

Hi Bren, have a look at Louis pics, he's grown one in a pot, spectacular! It's made me want to grow some too. Full sun Sb... here? I'll do my best:-)

Just to let you know, it's not that hard in the UK. I'd grow it in a pot with gritty loamy soil. Bring it indoors during the Winter
