  • Outdoors, sow with barely any cover. Seeds will germinate in 15-20 days
  • When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed

How to Grow Eccremocarpus:
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings when there are at least two sets of true leaves. Site in full sun in any normal, loamy, moist, well-drained soil

Additional Care: Grown outdoors year-round only where hardy, otherwise grown as an annual in Zones north of Zone 9. For plants situated outdoors year-round, prune in early spring to keep them within bounds of the available space or structure. It becomes woody where hardy
