Cardinal climber is a hybrid morning glory with bright red tubular
flowers and large, deeply lobed leaves. It is the result of a cross
between the red star morning glory (Ipoemea coccinea) with cypressvine

Sow the seeds of cardinal climber in a full sun location after the
knicked seeds have soaked in water for 24 hours. Provide average water

Flowering continues from late spring until frost. New plants arise
from the previous season's dropped seeds in the same area. source
