Years for blooms?

If I manage to collect the seeds in the pods of my hippies and germinate them I then have to anticipate approximately three years or so before I will know if I have any new colours/crosses. My question is: Will it still take such a long time for the plant to mature if it never goes into dormancy/stops growin in winter? As I live in the tropics my hippies have lush green leaves all year round. My observations are that whilst in winter the growth slows down, they still continue growing. Will this have any impact on the maturation time at all? I have never grown hippies from seed before and am excited to do so regardless of waiting time but sometimes my lack of patience gets the better of me and three years to a 20yo is a very long time!
