Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds during a warm growing period when temperatures are consistently mild. In cooler climates, seeds can be started indoors before the outdoor growing season.

Sowing: Use a clean seed-starting mix with good drainage. Moisten the growing medium before sowing and place the seeds shallowly in the soil.

Sowing Depth: Cover the seeds lightly with approximately one-quarter inch of growing medium.

Spacing: Once seedlings are established, provide adequate room for growth and install climbing support as the plants develop.

Sunlight: Place seedlings in bright light and gradually transition outdoor plants to a location receiving full sun to partial shade.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged.

Watering: Keep the growing medium consistently moist during germination. After establishment, water when the soil surface begins to dry.

Germination: Germination can be slow or variable. Maintain steady moisture, suitable warmth, and patience while seeds develop.

Transplanting: Transplant seedlings carefully after they are well established and outdoor conditions are suitable. Harden young plants gradually before moving them permanently outdoors.

Fertilizing: Feed established plants with a balanced garden fertilizer during active growth according to the fertilizer label directions.

Care: Train young stems onto a trellis or other support. Remove damaged growth when necessary and provide adequate airflow around the plant.

Flowering/Maturity: Plants generally flower during the warmer growing season after becoming established. Flowering performance depends on climate, sunlight, soil conditions, plant age, and overall care.
