I was wondering if you couldn't treat them as annuals, in a pot, on a stone flooring and removing the seed pods (do the seed capsuals explode like Euphorbia? if so then it's no-no) It might be worth a try.

In pots in the UK - I think that would be the solution. Thanks, Jill.

The seed pods don't explode but the seeds are biggish and round and roll into crannies where it's really hard to get the plants out once they germinate.
