Indigofera spicata seeds will usually germinate in 30-90 days, even under good conditions germination may be erratic. Sow seeds about 13mm deep in a Well drained seed sowing mix at about 10°C.

Soak in warm water, which should be changed daily. Most seeds swell up when they are soaked, those that do should be sown immediately. Seeds that don't swell can be gently scarified.

(Soak for 24 hours).
