An American Aya-huasca Analog: Desmanthus Illinoensis Illinois Bundleflower Prairie Mimosa seeds. A natural American prairie grass that is drought tolerant and often used to fight erosion of soils in farmlands and fields and replenish soil nutrients. A very beneficial nitrogen-fixing plant.

Germination: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Or plant outdoors in well-drained soil in early spring, after all danger of frost.

You can cover your container with a plastic bag or plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect which will also encourage faster germination and growth. When plant gets two to four inches in height then transplant into a larger pot or container or you can also transplant it outdoors.
