They can, I've had a few sprouts appear in my yard. Not sure if they come true from seed or not.

Hi! Yes they do, I have a whole bunch of seedlings I started a few months back. But like Ryan, I don't know if they come true from seed.
If you want to start them, just put the tip in the soil, with the feathery part sticking out.
I started mine indoors in covered containers with bottom heat of 75-80* F with grow lights, but I had started them in the winter/cold weather. You have warm weather all the time right? So you could just do them right outside I suppose.
good luck! Mine are very slow growing, but I think when my weather warms up they'll speed up...I hope..

great, thanks guys.
Ryan... i mailed your seeds today :)
Daniella, thx for the info on how to grow them i will try it! Yes its always hot here so i can sow them outdoors.
Very interesting... maybe i should try to hybridize them? but then again... they might take for ever to bloom...

They germinate quite easily but I have no idea how long it takes for them to reach blooming size. The last time I was at my Mom's house in FL I collected loads of pods. I wanted to test the viability and it was close to 100%. Now to figure out what to do with the seedlings.

There ya go Siam, a new project!! I think I had tried to look up how long they take to bloom from seed, and had no luck on finding any info. If you find out, please let us know.

I rcvd my seeds from Karyn, and also had just about 100% germination.

lmao Karyn, I KNOW!! I didnt expect so many to take, I prob have about a dozen seedlings, maybe a lil more, lol. I shared some seeds with Brenda Sipher up in NY.

Karyn, the Mock Orange and Mimosa germinated very well too.

No luck on any of the Yellow Allamanda yet, it's been months..did yours germinate? Of course that's what I was MOST excited about growing, lol. They are outside and I am hoping if this crazy weather ever warms up and stays that way, they'll sprout.
I soaked them..but was I supposed to peel them or something?

My Yellow allamanda took two weeks to germinate I think the same on the same on the Mexican oleander too.. I believe I soaked both of them... I know I peeled one but cant remember which one.... The oleander is already about 8 inches tall.... I hope this helps..:))

I never bothered planting any of the allamanda so I couldn't say but I didn't find a whole lot online about germination. It wasn't Mock Orange but Orange Jasmine (Murraya paniculata) that I sent if it was the reddish looking berries that I told you to soak the seeds out of. It's a fairly fast grower once it's up and the flowers smell great.

O OK Thank you Karyn..Of course you are right! The pkg said Orange Jasmine, and thats what everything else says, my notebook, tags, etc..I dont know why I got it in my head it was mock orange, lmao. Too many plants too little brain space..and thats why I keep notebook! lol!

Rosepedal, how did you do it? bottom heat? inside/outside? in soil/on top of soil? I tried all. Maybe I'll go out and peel a couple and see what happens.

Thanks all for the great info. :)

Daniella I had them on a heat matt beggining of spring in the gh... I used miracle gro soil and I tend to keep my soils too wet..I have a heavy hand on watering... I dont them dry out either... For some reason now I am having problems with seeds sprouting...It is strange I was doing really well there for a while...I think I had my first plumie seed sprout..The label fell off..I hope that is what it is....:)) I am gonna plant more seeds next week..
