Lophospermum Hybrid


Lophospermum Hybrid (Asarina erubescens (Asarina Bridal Bouquet))

Called the great cascade, I'll get a larger scale photo once the blooms really start showing. This is the first to open up.

This is a beautiful plant I discovered this summer; I got the 'wine red'.
Is this hard to start by seed?
Can I overwinter my plant in a greenhouse for next summer?

It is beautiful. I have always gotten mine as starts and haven't tried seed, though it would be worth it, loving them as I do. They seem to be part to full sun so they may overwinter well with enough given enough light. I don't know what part of the country you have your greenhouse. I would keep it frost free. It may strike well from taking cuttings from the vine tips now for overwintering. Better chances trying a few methods at once. I'm gonna try the seed knowing now that they are Asarinas and there are many different colors. Good luck.
