    Hi, I have some Peltophorum Pterocarpum seeds I'd like to grow. I know they would probably be fine indoors but would they survive if planted out when they get a little large?

    They will be fine , June , July , August , but back indoors after that or a greenhouse that is frost free over winter.

    Are you going to grow them as a house plant ? indoor Bonsai ?

    Not a plant I have come across, but on googling it looks very tropical to me.
    So outdoor survival in the UK would be very unlikely all year round.

    Thank you for your welcome and your reply. I really wanted to grow them outside as they grow naturally so I was hoping they would be more hardy then they are, I will have to settle for growing them indoor.
