Cypress Vine

Ipomoea quamoclit pennata

Cypress Vine (Ipomoea quamoclit pennata) is a fast-growing annual vine known for its feathery, fern-like foliage and vibrant, star-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, or white. Ideal for trellises, fences, and arbors, this vine quickly creates a lush, green screen covered in delicate blooms. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Cypress Vine blooms from summer to fall. Its nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a beautiful addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.

How to Germinate Cypress Vine

How to Germinate Cypress Vine (Ipomoea quamoclit pennata)

  • Sow Cypress Vine seeds directly outdoors in late spring after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.
  • Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil, spacing them about 6-12 inches apart.
  • Choose a location with full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which usually takes 10-14 days.
  • If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of true leaves and the soil has warmed.

Additional Tips

  • Cypress Vine prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, to encourage healthy vine growth.
  • Provide a trellis, fence, or other support structure for the vine to climb as it grows.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
  • Prune the vines as needed to control growth and encourage more blooms throughout the season.
