Both climbing and cascading with an abundance of vibrant flowers. Large leaves make this a bushy plant that spreads. Great for climbing trellis and hanging baskets. I planted in a trough.

Grown for the first time this year, a trough has proven to not to be the best choice. Requires regular pruning.

My Notes for Growing

Germination

• Seeded straight into new, moist compost in a trough about 1cm deep
• They easily need 12 inches of space from the next plant
• Trough positioned at the front of the house in 6 hours of sunshine per day
• 2-3 weeks to germinate

Tending

• This plant is a slow starter, but then explodes quickly and will require regular pruning
• In warm weather water every day
• Climbing is none destructive. I.E. no strangulation or destruction
• These flowers make good company for fruit or veg as they are an aphid magnet, but as an ornamental flower they can get destroyed by black fly.
