and ‘Nana’ is a dwarf. Whitish forms are known, as well. The plant likely is
pollinated by butterflies and sunbirds.It grows in many types of habitat,
including tropical jungles, forests, thickets, woodlands, grasslands, and sand
dunes. It can grow in nutrient-poor soils. It can be found at as high as 2500
meters in elevation.

Germination:

Prepare a pot of peat moss in which to
germinate your seeds.

Soak the seeds in tepid to warm water overnight
and then plant them in the pot at a depth of no more than 1 inch. Water the
seeds to moisten the soil. Watering should be continued as needed to always
maintain moderately moist soil to encourage germination.

Cover the pot containing to seeds with
plastic wrap to lock in heat and keep moisture in. Keep the pot indoors near a
window to provide the germinating seeds with a heat source and UV light once
they begin to sprout.

Store Policies

All seeds will come in a resalable
plastic zip lock bag and placed in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not
damaged by shipping machines. All seed packets contain no fillers or other
weeds or seeds mixed in. Most have been harvested by hand & all test at a
high germination rate.

Seed Information

We guarantee
that all seed orders will contain the quantity ordered. Unlike many sellers who
sell seeds by weight, all seed our counts are almost always correct, as the
seeds are packaged and counted by hand. Seed packages are all double checked to
insure accuracy. We do our best and will often add extra seeds.

experienced gardeners. (germination and plant care information is readily
available online. Most of our listings include germination instructions, so we
do not ship growing instructions.

All My Seeds Are Sold Fresh So You Can Plant them Anytime within 2
years from Purchase

***Note: It is normal for tropical seed germination to be sporadic from as
little as 30 days to 6 months or more- so patience is required. Buyers should
do their own research for plant uses if needed.

BE PREPARED – Some Seed can be somewhat difficult to germinate – much patience and
time may be required – please don’t be wondering why the seeds have not
germinated after short periods of time. This is normal. Several months will be
needed for some seed.

Some seeds require some experience in growing. We provide germination
guidance and recommend that you do some research before ordering if you feel
unsure. Growing plants from seed is supposed to be fun. Sometimes it is
successful and sometimes not- this is the way it is with gardening. Because we
are not there to plant them, we cannot be responsible for germination failure
due to improper planting or climate conditions. We will always send you viable
seeds

Seed is a
live product which depends on many important grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light intensity, proper use
of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, soil conditions, and
reasonable weather during the growing period. These factors are totally out of
the sellers control, and germination and growing results are the buyer’s
responsibility and risk.
