Hi Donna! I know the single Rangoon Creeper sets seeds pretty easily, but I don't think the same is true of the double one. I've not seen any seeds on mine yet. I got this one from Gardino's last winter, and it rapidly died after I received it. Gardino's replaced it with another one last spring. I think they propagate their plants from cuttings. This plant is still pretty small. I put it in my portable greenhouse to keep it growing and flowering because I think it would go dormant and drop its leaves otherwise. Here's a link to Gardino's: http://www.rareflora.com/ They have both the single and the double for sale.

Hi Kell! I have a few cold-sensitive tropicals and semi-tropicals which don't like temperatures below about 55. Nighttime temperatures drop into the low 40's/high 30's here at night. I have about 40 plumeria seedlings and 40 adenium seedlings which need the warmer temperatures also. I'm also trying to root a bunch of plumeria cuttings, which can be difficult to do in the wintertime, but the added heat of the greenhouse helps to facilitate that process. My Allamanda is blooming inside my greenhouse, but it would be sulking if it were outside. My Passiflora quadrangularis "Warmlands" died last winter when temperatures dropped below 45 so I had to buy it again, and this winter, it is blooming inside the greenhouse. I also have three Canangas (Ylang Ylang trees), and two of them are blooming inside the greenhouse as well. I have an oil radiant heater in there and some additional lights. Here's a recent picture:
