Cardinal Climber Vine Seed

Ipomoea multifida

Item #1155

Annual. Need a vine for a trellis, pole, or fence? Cardinal climber makes a nice partner with scarlet runner bean or morning glory, and like these two, is easy to grow from seed! Deep red flowers with a white/yellow throat, and fernlike foliage make cardinal climber an eye-catcher. We can’t say enough about the beautiful foliage! Great container variety. Attracts hummingbirds like crazy!
