Hmm… experiment – try both!

Thanks Cheryl  and Kitty!  Actually, I may try to grow from seed.  I'm interested in cucurbit species which form a caudex or have tuberous roots.  Plants grown from cuttings often do not form the same caudex as seed grown plants.

Subject: Michigan Bulb

I am almost embarrassed to even ask this question, but does Michigan Bulb still have the same bad reputation as it used to? I recall when, years ago, they actually got a good review from Consumer Reports, based on the receipt of a single live clematis.  The only reason I ask is they they offer a plant in which I am interested, Gymnostemma pentaphyllum. However, from this particular source, the plants are most likely cutting grown and there are reasons I might wish to grow from seed, not the least of which is that the plant is dioecious. Just thought I’d ask.
