I was not able to find this plant anywhere local. My dog decided to try to eat the seed packet that I just ordered. I managed to stop him before he ate the entire package.


I tried the fire treatment. I filled the pot with soil, sprinkled in 5 seeds and covered them with a thin layer of soil. Then I added a bunch of leaves and some fine pieces of mulch and lit it on fire for about 5 min or so, until everything was mostly ash.

Finally I covered all of the ash with a layer of compost and watered the pot so the ash would make it’s way into the soil.
I tried to use some of the darker seeds, some of them still looked a little green, I’m thinking they are immature and may not sprout. It’s been getting down to 40 every night, so that should help encourage the seedlings I hope.
1/23/25 – Now the waiting to see if anything comes up.

3/11/25 – Waiting patiently for something to pop up, we have perfect temps from 45-70 every day so that should help with germination. This tiny little sprout showed up a few weeks back but I don’t believe that this is something I planted because it looks so small compared to the size of the seeds I planted.

It’s been ~50 days or so and I’m not sure if this is a weed or one of the (5) seeds I planted. I also think I may have put too much compost over the seeds.
