It took three years to flower but I have one that flowered a couple of weeks ago after being sown eighteen months ago. Still in a five inch pot. I wasn't expecting that! Like everything, the luck of the draw. Right place right time? Who knows.

Definitely worth waiting for.

I can get a flower from seed in the first year if I start the whole process Jan 1. Then late August or September, many will flower for the first time. It is really nice, but there might be changes over the next couple of years. It takes around 4 years for the flower to settle in to what it will actually look like.

With your weather Wylie, anything is possible. I was more than happy at three years and maybe the one in the pot was just trying to break free.

Oh yes, this is gorgeous. May I ask how long this took from seed to flowering?
