10 Seeds Carolina Jasmine {Gelsemium sempervirens}

To germinate Carolina jasmine seeds, start by placing them in a small bowl or tray filled with warm water. Let them soak for 24 hours to soften the seed coat. After soaking, fill a small pot or seed starting tray with a well-draining seed starting mix. Plant the soaked seeds about 1/4 inch deep and cover with a thin layer of the mix. Water gently but thoroughly. Place the pot or tray in a warm location with indirect light, such as a sunny windowsill or under grow lights. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It may take 1-3 months for the seeds to germinate, so be patient and monitor the soil for any signs of life. Once the seeds have sprouted, you can transplant them into individual pots or directly into your garden in a location with full sun and well-draining soil.
