    As this is a tender tropical perennial, it is best grown in a container indoors (though it can spend summers outside) unless you live in a suitable climate.

    The seeds will form in the bottom of the flower after the flower drops.

    Crossandra is a tropical perennial and most perennials do well with a shearing in late summer or fall. You don't say how tall it is, but I would take off about a third of the height. Six inches might be short this late in the year. Mulch around the base of the plant in case of unexpected cold weather.
