RED Trumpet Vine seeds

I offered these on the BYC site for just a self-addressed stamped envelope. If you want some seeds, just email me and I'll send you my snail mail addy.

how big do they get? I have never tried growing them.
do they need a trellis ? are they hardy plants we get lots of heat and sun.
i would love to give them a try.

I found this cool link:

All the ones I let go in the Fall germinate in the spring, so NOW is a great time to put them in.

Propagation
Propagation Material: Seeds
Seed Collection: Gather ripe capsules when they turn brown but before they dry and split open (between 2-3 months after flowering). Remove seeds from pod air dry and store in sealed refrigerated containers.
Seed Treatment: Stratify 30-60 days at 41-50 degrees.

FYI-I believe the trumpet vine seeds need to be stratified to germinate.
see this website for info about what this means.

They will die back in the fall, and regrow every spring. I have mine on a telephone pole, and up the side of the barn. They will need some support.
