Not Frank here, Nancy, but seems to me it can take 3 years from seed
to really seeing what the leaves will end up like. I find them quite
variable from the same batch of seed (same seedhead) - like many
plants. So, you just have to grow them on for a while to see if any
are going to be worth it from a foliage standpoint.
