Any plants you get from the seed may not be the same as the parent plant. Mahonia x media is a cross between two different parent plants so your 'children' may revert to one of them.
I hope you can understand this!

Vous parlez bien l'anglais, mon brave! Je regrette que mon livre non dit pas le temps. I can't say the rest - sorry! Don't water the seeds every day - just keep the compost moist, or the seeds might rot. Adieu!

I think that the seeds must be fresh, Alexandre - were they? If so, be patient. They may take a LOT longer to germinate.

Hello Alexandre552.
I am learning gardening.
I live in Birmingham, England.
I spent many years in France, when I was young.
La raison pour ceci est ; mon Frère a failli épouser une fille « Pascal » appelé, et pour cette raison, ma famille est venue en France beaucoup fois, pour les visites sociales qui étaient le grand amusement.
Comprenez-vous ma traduction ? J'espère si...
Kev.

Bonsoir et bienvenue a GoY! You need to collect ripe seeds and sow them immediately in the autumn, either in a seed bed outdoors, or in pots. They germinate better if you keep them cold! Avez vous compris, Alexandre? Je ne parle pas bien francais.
