Luculia seeds sought
« on: July 31, 2015, 01:47:25 PM »
A member is looking for seed of Luculia, a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family.

Commercially available seeds are  expensive and the source he has found are out of stock meantime. This means that by the time they may have the seeds in stock it will be at the "wrong" season for  sowing seeds in his climate.   He asks if anyone here can supply him seeds now?

I'll repeat a photo of a Luculia in the wild from a previous post by "arisaema" some years ago....

They ripen too late in the wild, they're usually in full flower when I see them in early October (or February, in the case of the pic above)...
