#cardinalflower #cardinalclimber planted out and doing well. Hope these climb up the trellis with their beautiful leaves and flowers!

@columbiariver found out by accident that the leaves are delicate. I put them in a hard place to water, tried to shoot them with the hose from a distance. Not my smartest move. Lol

No kidding. I kept pulling out plants by accident trying to weed around them today. Lol. @columbiariver

Aren't they wonderful? 🤗

@KariSamuel they are!! I'm wondering if this is the one I have to be careful at placing near no building structures... 🧐

Any climber..... 😂

Cool idea @cyndi ❤️

Thank you @Racheltheredhead for the flower seeds!! ❤️ Can you identify the plant for me?

It's similar to a hummingbird vine, very attractive to hummers etc, climbing vine.

Thank you @Racheltheredhead @lesliecole49 ❤️

Planting: The morning glory family does not like to be transplanted and most varieties are direct sown. Wait until after danger of frost to plant seeds outdoors.

The seeds have a hard shell and germinate best if some type of scarification is done before planting. The easiest method is to soak them overnight. If you're really ambitious, you can rub them gently with some sand paper and then soak them over night. Seeds should germinate within 10 days.

Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep. Give the young plants a regular weekly watering of at least 1 - 2 inches, while getting established. Cardinal Vine doesn't like prolonged periods of dryness.

Plant in container by front "dog gate" trellis. #directsow #scarification #soak May 10th #jennseeds2018
