Do the Louisanas need cold like the TB's? When should the seed from
these be planted? Any special treatment these seeds need?
Treat these as you would the TB seeds (pot 'em up, water 'em, and wait) EXCEPT
don't let the seed pod or the seeds dry completely. It's better to plant them a
little "green". You may get some germination in the fall, protect any seedlings
from frost. They apparently don't need a cold treatment.

to do with this! :)
The LAs readily set bee pods if you have bumble bees.
