When the plant drops seed and when the seeds sprout are not the same thing. Many seeds need an over wintering, or do best after over wintering, and then sprouting in Spring. I’m not sure if Money Plant is one such seed, but it is certainly worth a try.

The other thing to make sure they’re not being cut back by man or beast unbeknownst to you.

Thanks for the clearest description I’ve encountered about the biennial nature of the money plant. I’ve always been curious about what happens to the plant over the first winter, and your posting indicates that “it takes the snow without losing its green.” Here in the DC-MD area, I’ve sown seeds about the time I think the plant in its natural state would drop seeds (i.e., August/September). But then whatever grows (not much) until winter seems to die. And then in the spring, nothing comes back! Perhaps I should plant the seeds in the spring to get them more established for the first winter.

Any suggestions?

I am looking for seeds or a aeedling or two. I have been trying for a year to grow some from seeds. They took forever to sprout 12 out of 42 seeds sprouted. Only two have made it to 6 inches and 6 leaves.
Help! I am desperate to have one.

I’ve had success either way, in nature the plant’s seeds will naturally germinate in the fall. So that is probably the best time.

Thank you for letting me know about the need for sun. I will hunt for a new location. Thank you for your offer of seeds. I will send the envelope as you requested.
