Peggy8b said:I've just purchased 10 seeds of this lovely vine. Nine of them have germinated in just 3 days with water soaked paper towels around them. I've just put those seedlings into soil (5 per pot) on 4/17/21. I hope they get going for me. Am keeping the pots indoors in a gright window until all threat of night cooling to the 40's has passed on. Then I'll acclimate them slowly outside a few hours in morning sun each day. I'm in Central TX, so I want to harden them off in a week or so, before it gets too hot here. I want to eventually house them in two wicker baskets that I hang on the arms of my 3-globe lamp post in the front yard. As a vine, they should drip over the basket edge nicely. In the bed below, there will be Giant Liriopes, Lamb's ear and a bit of Purple Heart.

Peggy ~ How did that work out for you? I am sowing some seeds now, for next spring bloom. I have an extra packet of seeds. They are old, but since I am direct sowing, I won't bother to pre-soak them first. They will get plenty of moisture between now and then. Let me know if you'd like to try them.
