Last year I tried unsuccessfully to grow them from seed, but I did manage to find one local nursery that offered them in pots. Tried both the traditional blue and a magenta shade. The blue went berzerk - made huge coverage on the wall with many vines from one stem. Huge trumpet blooms that were magnificent and abundant. The plant got so big that it brought down the trellis/netting in August! (I put it back up, of course). At season end, the stem at the ground was almost 1
1/4 inches thick. The magenta MG was rather disappointing. Although it was nearby the blue one, I grew it at the base of a tree (instead of up the white stucco wall like the blue). The soil there is also different, which may've been a factor. But it didn't really thrive, and the blooms were sparser and 1/3 the size of the blue. Didn't get much hummingbird action last year, even with one of those hanging nectar thingies. Also put up two bat houses, but no takers. :o( Was trying for some free mosquito abatement here in Winnipeg (Zone 3)
