Passiflora seeds-starting them?

(Nadine) Devers, TX(Zone 9b)

Okay..What is the first thing I need to know what to do about these seeds? I have 18 packages of fresh passiflora seeds and each one of them are named in a trade...Please somebody direct me somewhere I can read about germinating these seeds...some are very tiny and have to use tweezers to pick them up...

I'm sure those links probably covered this info but I can't stress this enough when it comes to these kinds of seeds.
I'd soak them for atleast 48 hours to try and soften them up a tad. Then plant them accordingly and be ready to sit and see nothing for what possibly could be several months up to 1 year.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear and it is a drag. I've been lucky and had some sprout in weeks. Many others I gave up on after waiting all summer. I recycled the medium I planted them in only to have them sprout up in other plants that received the recycled medium! LOL
Go figure, they're a mystery sometimes.
Goodluck, Jeff
