Species Macfadyena unguis-cati
Germination Sow the seeds on the surface of a container filled with damp seed-starting mix, press them into the mix without covering them, and swathe the container in plastic wrap to keep the mix damp. If you give the seeds temperatures near 70 degrees fahrenheit (21 degrees celsius), they should sprout within three weeks to three months.
Germination may be very slow, perhaps 2-3 months, or sometimes much longer, and these seeds may sometimes wait for spring before emerging. Grow on individual seedlings in 3 inch pots before finally planting with climbing support in a well-drained spot or very large pot.
