I don't know if I actually have the seeds but I'm going to try them.
Seed - requires stratification, pre-chill for 3 weeks prior to sowing. It will usually germinate in 1 - 3 months at 20°c. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle and grow on in a cold frame for their first winter.

Spigelia mariclandica seeds are grouped into small balls of 4-7 seeds in a two-sided capsule. The capsules ripen in early to mid July and within one or two days will explode throwing seed away form the plant making seed collection difficult. Before exploding the capsule will be black on the top and black-green on the bottom allowing an opportunity to collect the seed capsules before the seed is ejected.
Plants may also be divided in fall or spring and will often bloom the first season after being divided. Spigelia marilandica can be propagated by stem cuttings. Tip cuttings should be taken from plants that have not flowered; the taking of cuttings keeps the plants from flowering making it possible to harvest cuttings two or three times before the plants stop growing in the fall. When Rooting Spigelia marilandica include: taking 2-3 node tip cuttings from non-flowering stems; apply 2000-3000 ppm IBA liquid; root in a well-drained medium
