I had not grown any seedlings for many years but summer of 2010 I made a number of crosses. I use the "refrigerator" method. These germinated Jan 2011. I pushed them and planted them out in Mid-May. Here they are July 11...just over 6 months old. Should have good bloom 2012. Some are 18 inches tall. If you are growing some lets see a picture.
Some are starting to put up increase.
