About the plant

What it is and where it grows — not part of any germination protocol.

Note
WFO and POWO both move this species to Hippolytia but disagree on the epithet, so Deno's name stands here

Toxicity is noted only where a source states it. No note here is not a finding of safety.

This source reports two treatments. Both are shown.

Protocol 1

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Low Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around March 29, 2027 for a May 3 last frost.

  1. Sow and cover

    Temperature: 70°F 21°C

No stated waiting before sowing. Then 7 days to germinate.

100% germination — first up on day 3, then 30% a day.

Every seed. First up on the third day, then 30% of the packet a day after that.

Protocol 2

DerivedN. C. Deno, 1993

Difficulty Low Rated by us, not by the source.

Start around December 30, 2026 for a May 3 last frost.

  1. Cold moist stratification

    Duration: 90 daysTemperature: 40°F 4°C

    Deno gives no length for this period; three months is his standard cycle.

  2. Warm moist stratification

    Temperature: 70°F 21°C

about 3 months from start to sowing. Then 6 days to germinate.

100% germination in 2–6 days.

The cold changes nothing but the calendar. Still every seed.

This source doesn't state how long.
