What was the parent vine?
6 lbs of seeds would be a whole lot of seedlings.
Why so many are needed?
I put my seeds into a 5 gallon container.........."About 30 seeds", in the fall, and let them winter over outdoors to stratify. They should be barely covered with about 1/4 to 1/3 inch of soil. In the late spring, when soils warm up, the seedlings will germinate. Can't imagine you would need to plant 6 lbs of them.
I am looking for seeds of a variety called "Southern Home". |
