@greene I realize I don't need them to make kombucha but I am looking to add them to my second fermentation. I had planned on starting them inside but I just wasn't sure how early. I did read not to let them get root bound.

Jay, that's good info. I would like to be able to save some seeds if possible too since they are a bit pricey. But you don't use the petals at all? I read the leaves are good to use as well. But I suppose the calyx is what is mainly used?

Wow, last year we had an early frost and this year tonight is supposed to be our first frost so it could be iffy I guess. I was planning on growing quite a few and harvesting and drying them. Do you think covering the bush would work if there is an early frost?
