When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds after the last frost date when the soil has warmed.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost to get an early start.

Seed Preparation

  • Cypressvine seeds have a hard outer coating, which can slow germination.
  • To improve germination:

- Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting.

- Alternatively, lightly scarify the seed coat with sandpaper.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Loosen the soil and remove any weeds.
  3. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and 6 inches apart.
  4. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Germination occurs within 7-14 days.
  6. Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart once they develop true leaves.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
  2. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
  3. Maintain temperatures of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
  4. Water gently and place trays in a bright, warm location.
  5. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 12 inches apart.

Pro Tip

Train it on a trellis or fence early—it grows fast and can become invasive if left unchecked! Keep watering moderate, and enjoy the hummingbird-attracting star-shaped blooms all season long.
