I got these seeds with instructions that say 'Thin to 2 inches apart' which is confusing b/c I thought they will grow to several feet tall, do they?

I was under the impression that these would grow into long vines, but after several weeks they still look like little baby seedlings. They seem to grow very slowly.

I built a wire trellis about 2 feet wide and planted the seeds at the bottom. This particular seed will grow like a vine. As long as there is something to climb on, it will continue to grow.

It just means if several seeds sprout really close together, they need a little room in the dirt around them in order to grow healthy. Just leave one sprout in the dirt every 2". I sometimes replant the sprouts I pull up in different locations.

About 3' apart. I did mine just short of 3'. They are blooming great and I just planted them last year.

I planted mine 2 months ago, and had no problems with seeds. They are in my garden growing now. I only received a few seeds that did not bloom. Just make sure you germinate them properly.

I don't know because mine never germinated and I followed the sketchy directions. I am a master grower in a different plant arena so I'm no stranger to starting seeds. These were a complete failure for me.

I have tall ones, about 1 to 1 1/2 ft., and they don't spread out much at all. I haven't had much luck trying to cut and root them. But they do bloom all year here in California. I do have one short one, but it doesn't spread out either. Hope this helps.

Yes they need to be stratified... I don't know what happened but I wasn't successful , the seeds didn't grow :(

I bought the seeds but they are not mature enough to bear as yet. I will have to wait at lease a month before they are even close to producing perrpers. Sorry.

It probably depends on what your growing. But these don't get too hot. I put mine 4 - 5 inches away from the top.

i planted about 10 seeds in a rectangular pot with regular potting soil. surprisingly i only have about 11 plants out of 40 seeds. cant tell you if i did something wrong or the seeds just didnt grow

I got my 2 trees about 8 months ago, they are potted & are both about 2 feet tall. Won't really know how big they're going to get until this growing season. It's cold now & they're inside.

I am sorry, but I haven't planted them yet and do not know any more about them than what it says on Amazon. Good Luck.

these grow slow....start in pots with peat and let the seed sit barely covered (yeah seeds are small)...leave in pots for a while, at least 9-10 inches tall, and transplant. the longer they get in the ground the better roots establish so start seeds as early as possible. i got a 20 seed packet and only 5 germ. and got established (that is a good result)...as long as the root bed gets established, they have a better chance of winter survival. i lost 2 because of a really bad ice storm that ruined the root bed because they werent established enough....still, better have a green thumb for Eucalyptus...not for beginners these grow slow....start in pots with peat and let the seed sit barely covered (yeah seeds are small)...leave in pots for a while, at least 9-10 inches tall, and transplant. the longer they get in the ground the better roots establish so start seeds as early as possible. i got a 20 seed packet and only 5 germ. and got established (that is a good result)...as long as the root bed gets established, they have a better chance of winter survival. i lost 2 because of a really bad ice storm that ruined the root bed because they werent established enough....still, better have a green thumb for... » Read More these grow slow....start in pots with peat and let the seed sit barely covered (yeah seeds are small)...leave in pots for a while, at least 9-10 inches tall, and transplant. the longer they get in the ground the better roots establish so start seeds as early as possible. i got a 20 seed packet and only 5 germ. and got established (that is a good result)...as long as the root bed gets established, they have a better chance of winter survival. i lost 2 because of a really bad ice storm that ruined the root bed because they werent established enough....still, better have a green thumb for Eucalyptus...not for beginners « Show Less

We planted ours in the yard when we received them last summer. They took off right away growing several feet the first few months. This spring they are just now budding. Plant them at least 6 feet away from house or walk because the information we received says they grow very wide as well as tall.

Mine are about a foot tall and are slow growing. They say once they get 5 ft they are fast growers. They look very healthy and get watered daily.

well they we seeds and my plants are only like 6 inches tall so i wont be able to consume them until they get more bulk :)

I don't remember how long it took them to first sprout but within 2 months the plants were about 2ft tall.

Both plants I've had were around a foot tall including the ceramic pot. They will lose and sprout new leaves, but won't really grow taller than that.
