WHEN TO SET OUTSIDE
After all danger of frost has passed.
PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
Asarina's sage green arrowhead-shaped foliage and cherry-red flowers are beautiful cascading from containers and baskets on the patio–close enough for you to observe all the butterflies, bees and hummingbirds that visit the trumpet-shaped blooms. This robust twining vine is easy-care too, for it sheds the spent flowers, no deadheading needed. Provide a trellis with small diameter canes for the delicate looking but wiry stems to twine around, and in warm summer weather it will climb quickly and bloom abundantly.
Watering Details:
Keep evenly moist—at least 1" of water per week, more during particularly dry and hot spells, but avoid saturated soils.
Fertilizer:
Mix in an inch of compost or an organic balanced fertilizer when planting and continue monthly applications.
