A great ‘quick fix’ for pergolas, ugly walls etc. Native to Mexico, it thrives in warm conditions, but tolerates cool climates, too. Can handle very light frosts. Prefers full sun. 10 seeds. Not to WA.
Sowing Instructions
Sow indoors in pots or outdoors in warmer climates. Soak seeds for two hours before sowing seeds on their side in well drained seed mixture, keep moist and warm (21+˚C) and plant outside in fertile soil when risk of frost has well passed.
