Very simple question - how do you get it to grow from seed?

Both my sister and myself tried last year without any luck. :cry:

Hi nessnco. According to this website it is very hard to grow from seed.

I did actually germinate them one year - had them on a heated propagating tray. I got about 3 from 15 seeds ... and then forgot to water them one hot day and they died. *oops*
