HEIGHT: South 15-20'. North 6-8'.
ZONES: 9-11 Perennial. Direct sow or start early indoors.
ALL OTHER ZONES: Pot plant with something to grow on and take inside or overwinter in the greenhouse. It will continue to grow by a warm bright window. This tropical plant will not suffer the cold. Mid-Spring: Place overwintered plant outdoors in cool shaded area to allow ants to pollinate.
BLOOMS: First season. Late summer-early fall. Ant pollination will produce long seed pods which should be removed while still green and before a chill sets in.
SUN: FULL SUN-PART SHADE. Corkscrew is fast growing and adores the sun.
WATER: Moderate (keep watered). Fertilizer every 2 weeks during growing season.
Easy to germinate, soak seed 12 hrs. Can propagate from cuttings.
