Wanted Variegated Manihot

Mark Hall · 11-07-2007, 09:57 AM

I was wondering if any of you guys are growing the above plant and have any spare seeds you would be willing to send to the uk?

I will gladly pay the postage. PMs appreciated thanks.

Mark . . . The variegated is a cultivar and will not grow from seed. You need a branch cutting. I think the plant police will not let plants through without many permits . . ? (unless we mail it in a bag of cocain). lol

Yep, you'd need a cutting. I have this plant and have never seen it produce seed, much less flowers. I tried to take some cuttings this past summer, but they all rotted. I'll probably try again next year when it starts getting too tall and needs a little hair cut.

Thanks Guys.

Looks like I will be asking for cuttings then instead of seed
