    I've received my 8 Lapageria seeds and they have been planted. The packet says, keep them cool, slow germination, most likely to germinate in Dec/Jan. Apart from starting last Autumn, has anyone got any advice or experience with these?

    I tried them once a few years ago, don't remember getting a result.

    Follow these instructions...............

    Do not be disappointed if you get poor germination again, as the seeds really need to be fresh. Mine took a few months to germinate, and I lost one of the two when I transplanted it.

      Strangely enough, I did a lot of this, more by luck than judgement!
