- Soak seeds overnight in warm water for 24 hours before planting in early to mid spring under cover with warmth. Cover seed with1/4 to 3/4 inch fine soil. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
- These can be planted directly outside after the soil has warmed in late spring.
- Thin to 6 to 8 inches when seedlings are 4 inches tall and acclimatise steadily outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
- These will require support to ramble. Do not over-water or fertilize. Plant in full sun in well drained somewhat poor soil.
- This is a cultivated variety that does not spread or become invasive like its wild cousin and will die with the first frost.
