I tried growing S. harleyi from seed a few years ago.  I got one seedling, which did nothing for a few months and then died.

I recently got some more seeds and sowed them.  The young plants look reasonably healthy.  Perhaps, eventually, this page won't be so bare.

Ominously, however, the nearest relative of this species appears to be S. nordestina, with which it seems to share the rambling habit: weak stems which sprawl if they are not supported.  This does not bode well for their future on Horticultural Idol.
