Good gardeners think long-term. Do you have a healthy, strong-growing plant? Propagate from it now. You may start by collecting the seed - you may start by taking a small cutting – or even just by pegging a shoot down towards the soil. The whole process may take a season. It will be two to three years before you are looking at a stong, well-grown plant that cost you nothing but a bit of knowledge and patience to produce. I guarantee, by that time, you will be delighted to use it either in your own garden, or to swap it with friends for other plants.
