This is the first time I’ve planted this lovely annual vine. It can grow as much as 25 feet in full sun and well drained soil. I’ve got mine in a large pot adjacent to a trellis that it climbed with no assistance. I took these photos over a period of four days as the first blossom appeared.
Mine are just starting to bloom too! I read that if you start them in February that you get earlier blooms. I’m going to try it next year and see if there’s any truth to it. I think I started mine in April, how about you?
I bought mine at the greenhouse.
Hi, I’m in Saskatoon and I JUST got the first bloom last week! I counted. I have 9 blooms on the plant right now. It’s a race against, the weather to see if they will make it now before a heavy frost kills it! 🙂
