One must be careful w/ this vine as it reseeds liberally, at least in Zone 8 and further south, and can be invasive in non-horticultural settings. I planted it along a fence 15 years ago and have never had to replant. A similar plant, Ipomoea coccinea, is also a South American invasive though not used as often in local gardens. I find it growing in disturbed areas, blooming usually in late summer and autumn. Ipomoea quamoclit, or "Cypress Vine", as it is know locally, begins bloom in mid-summer. "Cardinal Creeper" is the local name for the hybrid of the two species. The seeds are long-lived. I have planted seeds 3-4 years old, with a very good germination rate.If you would like seeds of either species, please let me know. _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
