You can buy Vigna caracalla tubers from Monticello for 12.00 each. I believe the reason they don't sell seeds is they rarely ripen before the frost comes in that zone.

I read that to get them to bloom early prune the growing tips when it gets the enough size on it. Full sun, all day if possible .The tubers rot very easily so good drainage and keep it on the dry side. You are supposed to be able to overwinter the tubers but the last two years I tried it they rotted.
