Columbian gold. These are in my opinion wild grown seeds. Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced. Scarfing, cold stratification and just plain hard work required to get these to pop. Seeds are hard shelled. If you pop them under wet towels wait tell the hull has been shed before planting. If the shell dries out it will pinch the top of the seedling killing it.
Unless you get snow and hard freeze's. In that case just throw the seeds down in the fall and they will come up during the spring thaw.
These grow both male and female plants that can grow surprisingly tall. These are a gnat magnet so spray with Neem oil from a young age to prevent detrimental infestation. If your old enough to remember Columbian gold the work is worth the reward. I suggest breading these in your area and the results give seeds that start without scarfing,cold stratification or fuss.
All in all couldn't be happier.
