Don’t buy something without being educated on it and then leave a bad review these seeds have a hard shell so they will be harder to germinate. Use Scarification (you can look it up on YouTube) which benefits hard shelled seeds. I did use my own method I put the seeds in a cup of water for about 18 hours since I work and do my own thing and when I had time I did my own method of opening tip w/ slight force with pliers without trying to break the seed in half and germinated them. And put them next to my brothers game console where it is warm so they can germinate faster since they are hard. I changed the paper tower b/c it is moldy. And don’t put a bad review if you don’t know that after care after you put it in soil🤣 YouTube is free. Although it would help if The seller would put a paper w information on hard seeds and how to germinate them to prevent bad reviews.

I planted six of these seeds exactly following directions provided. Shallow, in warm part shade (a few hours of sun per day), high-quality fast-draining soil, kept moist but not wet.After three weeks, only one of six had germinated. I guess I will keep trying.

Would like better quality or more seeds, didn't do very well.

Nice packageToo few seeds50% germinated

Seeds not to good. 2 sprouted

These are hard shell seeds so I recommend using the method I used...which gets about an 80% germination rate which is plenty since the product description says 35 seeds but the package I got contained 62 seeds. What I did was use a small wire cutting tool to snip just a fraction of an inch off the tip of each seed...just enough so you can see the white of the inner seed. Then soak the snipped seeds over night in room temperature water. The next day place the seeds on a damp paper towel, fold the towel over the seeds, and place in a zip lock baggie. Place the baggie somewhere at room temperature, with ambient lighting but not in direct sunlight. In two to three days carefully unwrap the damp paper towel and you should see a number of sprouted seeds like those shown in the photo which was taken three days after the seeds went in the baggie. The sprouted seeds can be picked up with a tweezers and put in potting soil about 1/4" deep. Cover with soil and spray to dampen. Once the seedling emerges place it under a grow light or in a south facing window. Be very careful when picking up the sprouts since the tiny root can break off quite easily. If you are doubtful about this method, try it on about a quarter of the seeds and put the rest in the fridge while you run a test to insure the method will work for you.

Blue Butterfly Pea Flower, also known as Blue Tea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) has been used in foods, teas, fabric dyes, and even cosmetics to give a vibrant blue color that is super appealing, natural and non-toxic. When used in teas, this flower is also known for its antioxidant properties.To get these to grow I pre-soaked them in water for approximately 24 hours. Some gardening experts recommend *carefully* splitting the casings to speed up this process I really didn't do that and got pretty good results because of the pres-oaking.I then planted them in a couple of good sized terracotta pots. The most important thing, I am told is that the seeds for this plant get good drainage. So the holes at the bottom of the terracotta pots seemed ideal. I did put a few river rocks at the bottom to keep the potting soil from coming out the bottom too easily. Note that there are terracotta saucers underneath the pots, too. I do this for keeping my deck neater and also any water drained into the pot does help a little with the water balance. Then again, I am not that experienced a gardener and it seemed like the thing to do!For the soil, I used a slightly sandy mixture with a bit of composted matter added to readily available potting soil and planted the seeds about one inch deep. Some sites recommend just one seed per pot, I went with two or three spaced slightly apart. I then covered them lightly with the soil and gave them a good initial watering. I then put them under a grow light to ensure they got enough hours of full light. After a few days, I moved them out onto the deck. The seeds took a little over two weeks to begin to germinate, so I am super excited to grow this flower and use it some of my herbal teas.This plant apparently does not do well when temperatures hit below 60 degrees F. So make sure that they are kept warm and free of frost. Lately our temperatures have begun dipping at night so I have been bringing them indoors. I anticipate keeping them in pots and keeping them indoors as much as possible in the colder months.

These are very easy to germinate BUT the germination rate is low. However, with the amount of seeds you get in a pack, you’ll still be able to have a good bunch of plants from these. I let the seeds sprout by putting around 10ish seeds in a small mason jar with 1-2 tablespoons of water. then, I very loosely covered the jar with it’s top and left it in a very shady spot by my window. I say loosely because I wanted some airflow while maintaining the moisture. I’d say around 10 days later, the seeds started sprouting. I placed the sprouts in a small pot with dirt, and changed out the water for the remaining unsprouted seeds. A few days later, the seed in dirt had grown above soil, and I transplanted a few of the other previously unsprouted seeds. It’s been growing well so far and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Just water maybe once a week and moderate sun (in my windowsill).
