- Self-seeding possible: once established, the plant can return the following summer in warm climates, or self-seed depending on the seasons.
Successful Planting and Care
To optimize germination and growth, follow these simple tips:
- Sow after the last frost or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors, when night temperatures exceed 12–15°C.
- Germination: approx. 7 to 14 days depending on heat; to speed up, soak seeds for 12 to 24 hours in warm water before sowing.
- Placement and spacing: plant seeds 20–30 cm apart along a trellis or support; ensure the soil is light and well-drained.
- Exposure and soil: generous sun, soil rich in organic matter but light; do not let the bed become waterlogged.
- Hydration: water regularly during the growing period, then let dry slightly between waterings to avoid the risk of root rot.
- Support and training: gently guide tendrils onto the trellis or wire mesh; once well-attached, the plant grows quickly and easily covers vertical surfaces.
- Maintenance: remove faded flowers to prolong bloom vibrancy and encourage denser growth.
