I got some seeds of this one from a gardener here. Anything I should know about growing them? Soak, don't soak, light, etc.

Brugie, some people soak them, I just sowed them in potting soil, they all came up! This is a very easy plant.

Thanks Susie. Love the color on this one. Hope I have your kind of luck with the seeds. At least in my case, it will be luck if I get them to grow.
