I found some old posts that had great information in them regarding seed germination.

Thanks.

I've always had great outcomes by soaking the seeds over night in warm water before sowing them. There are some that are growing wild in a few spots on my property as well as on the far side of my neighbor's pond. These have not made many fruits. Those that have are always eaten by ants or other annoying bugs. I really don't put much care into these being as they grow in areas that have no choice to be mowed, & if you don't mow, then our yard becomes a hideous jungle. None have started to come out of their hibernation yet. This year I am going to try to take some cuttings to expand my passiflora wall. I haven't tried their fruit, so I am eager to have a nice yield. However, I am more into them for their unique flowers. They are beautiful & interesting to me.

Lullaby,

Thank you for the information. I did read that soaking them in water or something acidic like grapefruit or orange juice also works. I will be giving that a try as soon as my seeds arrive.

Thank you.

Also, I forgot to mention, some people scratch the side of the seeds before soaking. There are several things to be used for scarification. Sandpaper, knives, scissors, etc. Some do this, some don't. I, personally, have not seen a difference in germination rate between the two methods. That all comes down to preference.
