Care Instructions
Transplant Outdoors
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last spring frost, when soil has warmed. Space plants 36 inches apart with 48-inch row spacing.
Direct Sow
Direct sow seeds in the garden after the last frost date, once soil is warm. Soak seeds overnight or nick the seed coat lightly to speed germination.
Pruning
Minimal pruning is needed for this vigorous vining annual. Gently guide young stems onto their supports as they emerge, and trim any wayward stems that stray from your desired growing area. Remove spent flowers only if desired for tidiness; the plant naturally maintains continuous blooming.
