Bonnie, they need lots of heat and should germinate fairly quickly. It's been so long since I planted seeds of my C. mexicana that I can't remember how long the seeds took to germinate. I think it was about two weeks. You will have to bring the seedlings inside a greenhouse for the winter because they need a lot of heat when they are young seedlings. They take two to three years to bloom from seed.

Thanks, Lilypon!
