Toby,
Im fairly sure you could get D.capensis to a good selling size by next
season. Keep them warm, and they should grow like crazy. You could
plant seed of D.binata, but its another story if they germinate or not!
Since I live in South Australia, most of mine are dormant, even the
ones that just germinated from seed.
