This plant seems to be gaining popularity in our South Texas area. I have two and they are thriving as well as my neighbor's bushes. We are wondering if they can be propagated by the seed which grows profusely on the plant every fall. They are like tiny golden capsules of gel. Do they need to be dried or can they be planted off the plant as is?

I definitely want to grow more of these beauties!! Any info would be appreciated....SE
