OK - I’ve bought three “bare root” physalis or Chinese lanterns for £7.99.

What do you think are my chances of any of these growing??

Look like root cuttings. I think I'll grow some if I can sell cuttings at that price. Rip off!!

I found physalis quite easy to start from seed a couple of years ago - I killed them all later by not watering them, but they did germinate. 

Your sticks look like my plants did after I killed them  Sad

I've been refunded for the potting bench from B&Q. It did sound too good to be true....

They haven’t yet! But I don’t intend to forget. I’ve put a reminder in my diary.
 “Thank you for your email. 

We would advise you 
to allow up to 4-6 weeks after planting to see signs of growth. If after this time there are no signs of growth, please let us know”. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Incidentally - five bigger and better root cuttings that are already “showing signs of growth” in Wilko today for just £2.50.
