Australian Mountain Blue Berries are evergreen, small to medium-sized vines or small to medium-sized woody shrubs from Australia. They have leathery leaves and showy white, yellow, rose or pale purple flowers followed by showy, bright violet fruits in most species. All are good pot or container plants for any fertile, humus-rich, slightly sandy to rocky, lime-free soil in a sunny spot throughout the year with a winter minimum of some 15°C and reduced watering. Sow seeds flat on top of any rich, sandy soil at some 20°C, and keep pots in a sunny spot. Slightly cover seeds with soil. Keep pots always moist from beneath. Germination is irregular in this genus. 20 seeds per package.
