i have several orange fruit on my passiflora and have opened one to find
loads of red jelly like seeds inside,very sweet and crunchy they are too,
but could anyone tell me how to propagate from these seeds ,do i need to


dry

them out first, and when do i need to plant them, thanx in advance, tony



Last year I just dried them off and sowed immediately. They germinated very
quickly and survived the winter in a cold greehouse ( probably just as good
outside ). One I planted out this spring is away into the hedge about 8ft
tall. No flowers on it this year though.

I planted some dried seeds this year and have had both flowers and fruit
this year. The good long spell of dry, sunny weather was excellent for
them!

Cheers
