Product Details

Need a vine for a trellis, pole, or fence? Cardinal climber makes a nice partner with scarlet runner bean or morning glory. Deep red flowers with a white/yellow throat attract pollinators and hummingbirds like crazy! We can't say enough about the beautiful, fern-like foliage that together with the flowers make this an eye-catcher! Great container variety. Caution: Most parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.

    I planted these seeds a little bit late in the season, but once they started they happily started climbing. I love the lacy leaves and delicate flowers. I might sow more thickly next time or put in a different spot. Very pretty!

    I have 2 greenhouses and have purchased seeds for the first time from this company. Quality is great, price is right, shipped quickly, and every seed sprouted and thrived in the greenhouses.
