Maggi,

Love that black flowered one (although none of them are "bad", so to speak).  ;D
The good news is that Mandragora caulescens is on our "Allowed List" for seed import!
Is anyone collecting seed of it as well?
M autumnalis and M officinarum have been around here for awhile.
cheers

Hi Fermi
I’m a newbie so I hope i am posting in the correct place. I love mandragora of all types I have quite a few plants of Officinarum,  Autumnalis and Turcomanica and others of doubtful parentage .I have been looking for other varieties for some time .So I think you can understand when I say I went all wobbly at the knees when I stumbled on the post about  Mandragora caulescens .Please could you tell me Is there any information about getting seeds or  roots for this species

Regards
Mel

At the moment  I am very interested in varieties of mandragora in particular Mandragora caulescens seeds or any cultivation information would be nice

Hi Mel,
when I said that they are on our (Australian) "Allowed List" I didn't mean that I actually had any myself! I wish I did! Others on the Forum obviously do grow it though and one of them might answer your request. It may be worth putting in a Request on the "Seed/Plant wanted" threads,
cheers

Hi Fermi
thanks for your reply . Thanks for clearing that up .The seeds are proving difficult to track down .I do hope if anyone has them that they contact me .I have put a request on the seed wanted list I have had a good response but still no seeds yet .
Although there have been a few posts about  Mandragora caulescens I have not found one yet that actually said they grow it ,but I am still working my way through the posts
