Unfortunately, seeds are very hard to come by in much of the US. Even so, the plant is grown commercially here, I guess in states where it is legal, and I once read an article in a Texan paper (Dallas or Austin) about how ong choy is a great summer green, with seeds available in the local Asian stores of Texas.n this case you should remove flower buds from the plant in order to keep it growing (unless you're trying to save seeds). Also, apparently you get better results with seed grown plants than with cuttings (though cuttings are very easy).
