Post #5683161

Can someone describe how this plant looks fully grown? I grew this from seed and planted two plants. They really took off! But they look more like a groundcover. The stems have a very slight arc and then they droop to the ground. If I want to see the flowers, I have to lift up the stem/branch.
Also, I'm trying to collect the seeds. (which there are plenty) They are black and hard, but still want to cling to the green leaves at their base. Can I pluck them off or aren't they ripe enough? I try to wait, but then they have already fallen off and somehow seem to disappear into the ground!
Just hope some DG'er help me.
Thanx!
