  • Information
    • Ipomoea X multifida. This easy-to-grow, twining vine is best sown directly into the garden in full sun after all threat of frost has passed. Like Morning Glories, Cardinal Climber will need a solid support from a trellis, fence or netting. Annual. Summer flowering. Height: 10' to 12'.

    Average seed life: 2 years.
  • Gardening Tips
    • Cardinal Climber Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      :1/2”
      Seed Spacing:2”-3”
      Plant Spacing:6”-8”
      Days to Germination:5-10 days
      Germination Temperature:65°-85°F

      Ipomoea quamoclit. A spectacular climbing annual, this beloved heirloom will scramble up any type of supportive structure for a profusion of little, trumpet-shaped, cardinal-red flowers with finely cut, fern-like foliage. Prior to planting, carefully nick the hard seed coat and/or soak the seeds overnight. Then, they prefer to be direct-sown after all danger of frost has passed. Or start the seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before planting outside. Carefully thin or transplant Cardinal Climber to a spacing of 6" to 8" apart without disturbing their roots, and plant in full sun and well-draining soil. Water moderately, as Cardinal Climber prefers dry conditions. Only fertilize lightly, as soil that is too rich will discourage flower production. Summer flowering. Height: 10' to 12'.
