These seeds are also available through Nichols
Nursery in Oregon. Always been curious about
it, you've inspired me to try. Idaho. Hmm.
Hot sunny, dry area preferred?

While on a trip through Idaho last year, I
visited a botanical garden in
Boise, where I saw a plant labeled as Leonotis
lantana - Lion's Ear. It
was a striking plant, 6 ft tall with orange
flowers in the axils of the
leaves. As I passed, by and accidentally
brushed up against the plant and
a few ripe seeds just happened to fall into my
hands :)
The seedling plants are now over 5 ft tall but
no blooms yet - the mother
plant in Idaho was blooming in mid-september.
