I haven't tried them from seed, my first plant was a reasonably sized tuber.that flowered in the second season I had it. The bulblets from that plant all produced bulblets in their first year. Seeds possibly would be slower in all respects. I did an article on my Amorphs earlier this year.

We're at the opposite part of the year to you over there, right into winter now. And looks like this year is turning into the coldest winter on record. Yesterday it only got to 32C (89.6F).

This photo is the second season (last summer). The pots are on inverted bakers trays to stop tree roots getting into them. The large (mother) plant had flowered and then put up this big leaf. The red container behind it has all the previous seasons bulblets growing in it. The bigger the bulblet from the mother plant, the bigger it grew and the more bulblets it itself produced.
