In the words of Christopher Walken, wow wow-ee wow-ee
And yet it still moves faster than the repubs in congress.
Those have been blooming on the side of my garage for the last few weeks. I put up a piece of lattice for them to climb, which they do very quickly.
God blows my mind once again.
I’ve been growing these for a decade. I plant them on both sides of an overhang by our back door. They climb and meet in the middle and bloom until first frost. Collect the seed pods after frost and you have the seeds for next year. So fun, easy, and unusual.
@oldnorthstate — I’m guessing (from your name) you live where these are annuals and die back each year. Are they hard to cultivate from seed — do they take a lot of fussing once seeds are planted or do you have to grow seedlings first and transplant?
Very easy. I put the seeds in the ground around May 1. They are definitely an annual here, but supply the seeds every year. That’s a good suggestion, though, to start them indoors. They would probably get a real jump start. It’s fun to look in the late afternoon to see how many blooms you will get that evening. They only blossom for a couple days from each flower, but new ones keep cropping up until fall.
Oh so nice.
