Temple Trees grown from seeds generally take three years or longer to produce their first flowers. Flowering time depends on the variety, sunlight, climate, and growing conditions. Plants grown from stem cuttings can flower sooner than seed-grown trees.
Not always. Temple Tree seedlings may produce flowers with different colors, patterns, and characteristics from the parent plant, particularly when the parent is a hybrid or multicolored variety. Flower appearance from seed is not always predictable.
Use fresh, viable seeds and sow them shallowly in a warm, well-drained growing medium with the wing exposed. Maintain temperatures around 77–86°F and keep the medium lightly moist. Germination commonly occurs within 7–21 days under suitable conditions.
