Quamoclit Mina Lobata * Spanish Flag * Ipomoea Firecracker Vine * 10 Seeds *

THIS LISTING IS FOR 10 SEEDS OF MINA LOBATA Spikes of flowers are crimson at first and then gradually change to yellow. These splendid and vigorous climbers have strong, reddish, twining stems that can reach 12ft and produce all summer a profusion of long, slender spikes of unusual flowers with colours that gradually change – at times, a spike can display any combination of the variety’s colours. They make charming and very interesting cut flowers. They prefer a sheltered, sunny position. This unusual vine has up to 12 beautiful tubular flowers on each spike. It's easy to grow, and excellent on a trellis, fence or in a hanging basket. Also makes a great cut flower. This marginally frost-hardy plant climbs to a height of 15 ft and quickly provides a dense leafy cover over a suitable supporting structure. Seeds should be scarified and soaked in water for 12 to 24 hours to aid germination. Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil.
