Ideal for arbours, trellises, fences, and posts, this vine will thrive from seeds planted almost anywhere. Growing from Ipomoea Quamoclit Cardinalis seeds, it produces vibrant red, trumpet-shaped flowers and is low-maintenance. A favourite of nectar-feeding birds, the Cardinal Climber adds a splash of colour and vertical interest to your summer garden. Its palm-like leaves provide a striking backdrop to the 2.5 cm dark red blooms that appear from early summer.

Soak Cardinal Climber flower seeds overnight before planting. Plant now. Cover with 1/4 inch of soil and keep moist until germination. Seeds can also be started directly outdoors. If planting outdoors, sow the flower seeds after soil has warmed.
