Lapageria rosea

Dear Friends,

Thanks to a fellow PBS er, I just got a few seedlings of
Lapageria rosea. This may be totally futile, but as I looked around
I saw little info on my favorite site: The PBS wiki. In fact, there
is no entry at all.

So a few Qs for more knowledgeable PBSers:

Does Lapageria rosea have a bulb (tuber or enlarged root)?

Has anyone outside of Greater San Francisco especially the
mid-west had success with this species?

I know UC Bot Garden Berkeley has a great collection but who
else even grows it?

Can anyone suggest good growing conditions?

Any words of warning? Thanks Jim W.
