Leopard Plant

[GaDawg]

My leopard plant’s flowers are now producing seed. Looking on the internet, I couldn’t find any information on germinating the seed. 

 

Anyone have ave any experience or info on germinating the seed?

As long as seed is viable,  germination should be fairly easy, as with most Composite (Sunflower) family-type plants. Barely cover, set pots in baggies, keep moist, place on a heating pad ( if starting immediately / indoors)  and that should be about it. Not sure whether or not the seed would require any pre-treatment before sowing, ie: being put in the refrig. for x number of weeks, etc. 

My only reservation might be that if the mother plant is a cultivar of some sort,  seed might or might not germinate ( plant could produce sterile seed) In that case, propagation might involve separating runners /offsets.
