A perennial in mild zones 9-10, and treated as an annual in zones 3-8, Cup and Saucer vines will grow up to 10' as a annual, and 20' or more as a perennial. These are very easy to sow but can take up to 30 days to germinate.
Best stared in pots eight weeks before your last frost in the spring. Sow seeds on the surface of your potting material and expose to light. Do not cover and keep you soil slightly moist by watering from below. Keep your potting material at least 70 degrees (day and night) and problems germinating these seeds is usually when attempting to start them in cool weather. Once germinated and keep warm as any cold or cool weather will cause the seedlings to die off. Here in zone 7 we start them in pots in April and put them out into the garden in June once the day time temps start to stay in 80's. This is a warm weather plant and is unhappy in cold weather.
You can also direct sow these in late spring or early summer once your temps stay in the 80s. Sow on the surface of your garden bed and very lightly dust with screened peat. Try not to cover the top of the seed by more than three times the height of the seed, or approximately 1/4".h
