Since last two year every 3rd or 4th day i am visiting Paras nursery for seeds of Antigonon and passiflora . I got some seeds last year but they did not germinated. This vine is again in flowering stage and i am waiting for seeds to ripen. Surely will collect seeds for me and you also. However this year i could get 10 plants of passiflora from cuttings and two of antigonon  from cuttings. And i found passiflora to propagate by cuttings very easily. But Antigonon very difficult.

Thanks

Be careful about Antigonon leptopus.

Once it starts spreading it is difficult to control. It can occupy the whole area growing gregariously and rob all the nutrients.
