If starting indoors - Hot soak your seeds for 24 hours, Sow 1/4 and cover with plastic tent. Place under warm indirect sunlight.
◠◡✿FYI: There is much confusion between Snail Vine and Corkscrew Vine. Once thought to be sisters, Corkscrew have been moved to her own genus. So here's the skinny between the two...
PURPLE SNAIL VINE- Is solid shades of lavender-purple. Unscented. Extremely fast growing and can be invasive in tropical locations (please check your local zoning code if in-ground planting). Colder zones, simply treat as a fast growing annual. Great for pots. Overwinter indoors ***The seeds for Snail Vine are small with a white dimpled center.
CORKSCREW VINE: Is multi-colored and more intensely spiraled. HIGHLY SCENTED. Med and steady growth. Non-invasive anywhere. Will not suffer the cold. Great for pots. Overwinter indoors. ***The seeds for Corkscrew Vine are larger, flat and a bit squared.
