Anyone with experience with Lapageria??

northeast, IL(Zone 5a)

I received some Lapageria seeds as a 'bonus' from a fellow in Chile. They got planted outside with a lot of other seeds, and now they're sprouting! I didn't know what they were at the time, and still haven't found out much about them, except for their name. I'm in zone 5, will they survive outside with a lot of mulching? Should I keep them in pots and bring them inside in the fall? From the pictures I've found they look beautiful. Any help would be appreciated.

I've never grown it but I found this link. http://florawww.eeb.uconn.edu/acc_num/199800158.html

It sure looks pretty! My hort book says it's hardy only in zones 9-11. You'll have to bring it in or see if you can grow it as an annual,

I got those seeds too, but planted them inside and they got all moldy.....I think I'll just put them outside and see what happens. I'm glad yours have germinated - gives me hope
