When the flowers are open, take a tiny paintbrush, shove it down into the flower, and twirl it around. This accomplishes pollination. The seeds sprout easily under standard mediterranean climate gardening conditions. Snails and slugs love them, so you need to bait (at least at my house). I had these for years and they reproduced nicely. Unfortunately, they also seem to want to be repotted pretty regularly. I neglected to do that for a few years and lost them. Matt, thanks for the comment about low prices. I thought they still cost over $20. I'm going to order me some today. Mike San Jose, CA (zone 9, min temp 20F / -7C)
