>I've had 2 large lapageria here in NY for about three years, plus >some seedlings grown from fresh Chilean seed. >I don't think lapageria is particularly hard to grow, but Dear Ernie, Just the encouragement I wanted to hear. Having them go through winter here and cool season growth in my cool Greenhouse seems perfect. In summer, I can bring them indoors into AC and in a N or E window. I think I have a plan. Thanks to all who commented, although I was rather shocked by Ina's complaint about their weediness. If only..... Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
