Sow indoors late autumn-late winter or sow directly in spring. Surface sow onto moist well-drained seed compost. Cover seed with 10mm vermiculite. Propagate 20°C. Germination takes 14-21 days. Once germinated keep soil slightly dry and lower temp. to 15°C. Grow on. Transplant to 8cm pots if required. Can be planted out once soil temp. reaches 10°C. with 30cm spacing. Sow directly after last frost date. Sow 6mm deep into finely prepared soil. Thin to 30cm, carefully replanting thinned plants.
Very easy to grow. Will require a frame on which to climb. Can be also used for ground cover. Feed every 4-6 weeks.
At the end of flowering lift the plant, pot up and bring indoors for the winter. You can cut the plant back to a manageable size. Propagate via division or by saving seeds.
