A hanging basket, This one has grown better than the ones on the bench.
Maybe a warmer spot? all other variables are about the same.
Just an observation I thought I'd pass on.

Steve, I got some seeds for this one. How easy are they to germinate? Do I need to take the red coating off the seeds (dumb question)? I know they have some growing at a local Botanical Garden, but on other sites I see they are only good to zone 9b. Seems as there is very little information on these guys.

Dean,

I would soak them for a day and clean them. These are not fun to clean, the coating is sticky & stringy 😐

If you have a large number of seeds, there are some seed cleaning enzymes you can use that will dissolve the seed coat. With a small amount, the easiest way I've found is to rub the seed against a stainless steel scrubbing pad 😀

After they are clean, another soak, and then plant them in a community pot about 1/4 " deep. With the Summer heat, it should only take a month or two to see first leaves.

Not too sure about cold tolerance, mine have seen below freezing a couple times, ( during power outages) with no apparent ill effects.

A recent photo,

Found these coir lined baskets on sale, they seem like just the thing for these.
(at least until they get too large 😀
