Seeds from Solana? Is it the spinny one or the spineless? How much time does it take to grow, when do you have to sow it?

I might take the chance to grow it next spring!

Hi.

I bought a seedling in a 2-inch pot at the Rendez-vous Horticole of the Montreal Botanical Garden last may. It quickly gret to 30 inches in a full-sun location. This is the spined variety. I didn't get any fruit from it, even if I bought 2 of them. It is a very interesting plant; quite exotic.

Thanks you so much for the information, actually I saw them at the very same place and was thrilled by their beauty. Knowing that they are fast growers, I will probably buy some seeds and try them.

Regards
