Description

Lophospernum Wine Red is an annual climbing plant with wine-coloured flowers. It can be used as a climbing plant by training it, but it also makes a magnificent hanging plant with its cascades of flowers.

Growing rapidly, your little green plant will grow 2m (7ft) in the space of one summer, and flower continuously until September.

It is suitable for pot cultivation as well as for sunny locations in open ground. A voluble but light climber, it pairs well with a perennial climbing plant and can also be used as ground cover.

Young plants measuring 6 to 10cm (2 to 4in) in cases with 5 small clumps measuring 3.6cm (1in) in diameter and 4cm (2in) in height. Our plants are at least eight weeks old and strong enough to be planted in the ground.

Planting and care

You can plant your Lophospermum in the ground or in a pot. If planting in the ground, it is imperative to wait until the last frost has passed (they do not tolerate frost and do not withstand temperatures below 8° (46.4°F) well). In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in a pot in a warm and bright place to accelerate their growth. Plant your Lophospermum in a sunny or semi-shaded site They need a light and humus-bearing soil. They tolerate short periods of drought quite well, but will need regular watering during hot summer weather to flower well. In pots, they need to be watered very regularly. Highly floriferous and fast-growing, they can reach 2m (7ft) in just one summer. Remember to provide support if you use them as climbing plants. Usually grown as annuals, they are actually very delicate perennials: by bringing them indoors in September, you can extend their flowering period into autumn and winter.
