Eventually had four or five flowers on several stalks and three seed pods. Got about a dozen small plants from the seeds, now growing in the garden.

I'm growing this in a pot with no holes and the plant certainly likes it here.

It survived and remained green during the cold and snow of our winter. It seems to be doing fine in the heat, as well.
