Great to see this, I ordered seeds from Chiltern's last spring and not a one came up. The seeds are so hard. I know people who make rosaries out of the seeds.

Yes, I read about rosaries in some database while searching for this plant's details. It did sprout very easily and grew quickly too.

I make roasries with these seeds, I've tried growing them but never had much success. They are so expensive to buy from bead companies.

That is very pretty! I never imagined that such a lovely necklace could be made out of these! My plant too seems to have died down. But when it gave the seeds, they used to be more hollow than solid. So, I could not preserve them to be regrown. I can say my success with this plant too was poor. Perhaps it did only half agree in the tropics here. I had got it from a trade from a colder zone. That could be the reason.
