How to Sow and Plant

Stratify seeds in a cool place such as a refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks before sowing

Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 6 to 8 weeks earlier

Plant seeds at a shallow depth and keep soil lightly moist until germination

Space seedlings approximately 2 to 3 inches apart to allow healthy growth

How to Grow

Grow in full sun to partial shade with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily

Use well-drained soil with neutral to slightly acidic pH

Water regularly to maintain even moisture without waterlogging

Provide strong support such as trellises or pergolas for climbing

Prune lightly in early spring to manage growth and shape

Tips

Plant more than one vine to improve cross-pollination and fruit production

Install sturdy climbing support early to guide vine growth

Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture

Avoid overwatering to prevent root issues

Regular pruning helps control vigorous spread
