Description
A fantastic climbing variety that is perfect for training onto walls and fences. Produces masses of delicate flowers in shades of gold, pink and white that appear constantly through the summer into the autumn months. The trumpet-like blooms smother the plant providing striking contrast against the rich-green foliage. Sow March to April. Soak seeds overnight in tepid water before sowing. Sow at 20-25C (68-77F) on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a layer of compost, 6mm (1/8 inch) deep. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag until after germination which takes 10-21 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Transplant when large enough to handle into 13cm (5 inch) pots. Grow on in cooler, well lit conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12 inches) apart. For pot plants, plant into loam-based soil in 20cm (8 inch) pots. Grow on with plenty of light, but shade from direct sun. Remove spent flowers regularly.
