Maurandia erubescens.
By Sarraceniac

I just came across an envelope that I remember being given a couple of months ago with some seed of M.erubescens. Can't find much useful on Google. Has anybody on GoY ever grown these, which I believe are an annual? Any advice gratefully received or I'll just do my usual and guess. LoL.
On plant
Lophospermum erubescens

Thanks Rob. If you planted in March in Dorset, I'd better make it late March or early April on the Yorkshire coast. LoL.
Pleased you can take cuttings. Means I can grow it as an annual then start it again the next spring (if I like it). Easier than seed.

Yes John,
Good idea, you should get top marks for that. Lol.

I think it is now called lophospermum erubescens - try Google-ing the new name and see if anything else turns up

Andrew. If you look at the top of the question you will see I fed in both names.- LoL.

Hi John,
Yes we grew these about 50 years ago when I lived in my home county of Dorset.
It is a half hardy climbing perennial ( Antirrhinum family). Sow seeds in March, min temp. 45F.
You can take cuttings.
We grew them for hanging baskets.
