Germination

To germinate Tetragonolobus purpureus seeds, begin by soaking the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to help soften their hard seed coat. After soaking, plant the seeds in well-draining soil or a seed-starting mix, burying them about 1/2 inch deep. Maintain consistent moisture, ensuring the soil remains consistently damp but not waterlogged. Place the containers in a warm location with temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F) to encourage germination. Purple-winged pea seeds typically germinate within 2-4 weeks under these conditions. Once the seedlings are sturdy enough to handle, they can be transplanted into the garden, where Tetragonolobus purpureus can adorn trellises, fences, and other garden structures with its charming and vibrant purple to violet-blue, pea-like flowers.
