Has anyone grown this from seed, need to hear from you, please.

Now that I found a good place to grow it, (was not happy in a pot) I want to start some form seed next year, in my cool basement - have a heat mat and timed lights, any thing I should know.

Thanks!

I bought some seeds last winter and they germinated easily. Have had blooms all summer.

I also grew some from seed this year, germinated easily. But I think I should have pinched them back early in the summer. I didn't and they are now quite tall, and didn't bloom until late August, a couple are just about to bloom now. When I pinched the spent flower from the first one, it then started to bush out more and now has several flowers. Does anyone have any advice on this?

Also, anyone have good luck growing them from their own saved seed? I bought my seeds this year, but thought I'd try to save some this fall.
