Glory Vine

[crafty1]

I recently purchased a package of seed for something called "Glory Vine". From the picture and description on the seed package, it appears to have tubular shaped flowers in shades of yellow & orange. Have any of you grown this vine? Do you have any hints for its care?

Morning Glory Vine - Ipomoea

Ipomoea is a group of perennial or annual vines as well as evergreen shrubs and perennials. The vines require support, full sun and humus rich soil. They are frost tender at 45-50F. Red spider mite and whitefly can occasionally cause problems. Can be propagated by spring seed or summer cuttings. They are not related to Convolvus arvensis the hard to eradicate vine also known as Morning Glory or Bindweed. This annual, sometimes taken as a perennial in tropical climates, blooms from summer to winter, funnel shaped flowers. Foliage is green on hairy, green stems. 'Scarlett O'Hara' has bright red flowers.

No, this is NOT a morning glory. The package gives the name "Eccremocarpus Scaber". Says "Tubular flowers hang in clusters of orange, yellow & red". Also says it is rare and little known. Thought someone out there might have heard of it, & might have some growing hints. Seems like I've seen it mentioned on one of the forums as being a good hummingbird attractant. Thanks for trying.
