Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant seeds into a sunny area with well drained soil. Mexican flame vines are not fussy about soil and will sprout in poor soil and rocky areas. A more profuse display of blooms occurs in organic soils, but soil that is too rich may cause growing Mexican flame vines to get out of hand.
