I have tried to grow some this year, it is a very tempermental plant and requires constant care. You cant just plant the seeds and water them like normal plants and the seeds are like mustard seeds, iddy biddy. Although my plants failed this year I am going to try again next year. You have to start them inside and let them get to a pretty hearty size before moving them outside. And they need a lot of moisture, if you have a greenhouse I would say the success rate would increase.
