In order to grow this plant, dry the pod and get the seeds, it takes less than 3 months for it to mature and flower. They grow healthy and best grown with something for it to climb and creep on. This flower attracts a lot of tiny birds and bees, pick the flower once it starts to close and dry them in the hot sun if you want to produce some nice blue dye.
