 It will be interesting to see if the plants are hardy in your climate and grow as a perennial.  If so, the root will eventually get big like a sweet potato or horseradish and then be suitable for harvesting to use in the preparation of mojo bags.  You might not have a lot of obeah practitioners in your area so the market might be limited, though.
Good luck!

 I agree with Robert.  I used a small file (rasp) to file a notch in the seed (three seeds, actually).  The seed coat is pretty thick.  I didn't soak them, just planted them in a pot of Pro-Mix type soil and all three germinated in less than a week.
Thank you, Robert, for supplying these seeds.
