If you can find some passion-fruit - soak your Passiflora coccinea seeds in
the juice and keep warm for 24 hours, John Vanderplank says this
dramatically improves the prospects of germination.
Passionflower seeds are easy going regarding depth - 'rule of thumb' says
sow as deep as the seed is wide (I almost never find that deep enough). They
*will* germinate from 2-3 inches deep, but 1/4" to 1/2" is normal.
Not having a lot of patience, I often give up on passionflowers before all
the seed have germinated and then find them growing in the garden or with
other plants where I have recycled the soil.
