    I started plants from seeds I got in a seed swap here in Jan. 2017. I planted them Feb 1, '17 and they sprouted ok and grew. The first leaves were obviously not the silvery color. It's a year later and the new leaves of 2018 are still plain brownish, not silvery at all. They apparently don't come true from seeds. Maybe it will send out flowers this fall, which should be white, so we'll see.
