Any first-hand info on how to start passionflower from seed? I filched
a past-use-by fruit, allowed it to ferment on my counter. Now it has
dried to leather and I've harvested the seeds, which fall into two
categories: greenish and nearly black. I presume hte black ones are
more mature and will therefore be more likely to sprout.

Do I need to soak and score these things to help them sprout? Toss them
in moist potting soil and leave them alone? Wet paper towel method? Other?

It appears they benefit from stratification.

Good luck! :-)

Unless you read some other websites that say otherwise.

Hence why I asked for first-hand reports I have two dozen "ripe"
seeds, I'll try four different methods and see which does best.
