I have tried growing them from seed twice this season. The first batch in the propagator gave me one plant. The second batch gave me two plants. This is from a total of 30 seeds so 10% germination. Not happy.
I intend growing the few that have germinated in the greenhouse in large pots.My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)

Like Snadger I've had very poor germination from seed. I'm growing as house plants so luckily I don't need many.
However a few years ago I grew a few from seed, and they survived in my stony and sunny front garden for a few years. Gone after a very cold winter, but reasonably hardy.
You might be ok in Croydon.
Mostly flowers, some fruit and veg, at the seaside in Edinburgh.Comment
