Sow

Soak seeds overnight in cold water.  Sow the seeds 3mm deep in modules or trays of moist seed compost.  Keep at 20 – 30°C and germination takes 1-2 weeks.  Do not exclude light.  Transfer seedlings to pots when big enough to handle, being careful not to disturb the roots.  Harden off seedlings before planting out after the last frost. Plant in a warm sunny position.  
Grow Provide climbing support and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.  Plants grow and flower in the same year, and die in autumn with the first frosts, when they can be removed, and more seeds sown in spring.
