Mexican Red Bird of Paradise 20 Seeds - Caesalpinia Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 40 of the Red Mexican Bird of Paradise seeds. Soaked them for 24 hours in warm water and planted them about one inch deep in individual pots in light potting soil. Kept them damp waiting for germination. None of the 40 gave any indication of germination. I didn't disturb the seeds for a long time thinking it just took some time for germination. 0 out of 40 germinated.
