Nick or soak seeds for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant seeds 1\/2 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
