If you do get some seed Sean I had this little
snippet of info on the germination requirements
Sow at 20ºC (68ºF), if no germination in 3-4 wks,
move to -4 to +4ºC (24-39ºF) for 2-4 weeks
Sounds a little strange, going to such cold temps,
so if after the 2-4 weeks at -4 to +4 do you go back to
20°?? I would have thought, yes
The seed would appear to need some stratification
but maybe not always??
Source? try B & T Seeds, they list it in their catalogue
as a Zone 5 Perennial, ov.-lance,or tendril
YELLOW,PINK tipped,2-14 raceme climbs 3-4m.
Cheers, Rod
