The plants prefer full sun, warm days and nights, and a trellis. Insect-pollinated. A single vine can easily cover 10 square feet. Soak seeds overnight before planting. Pour very warm water in a pint jar and drop the seeds in there, allow to soak overnight, then plant the next day. Helps immensely. Sow the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in good potting soil in the greenhouse or a nice, composted hill of garden soil in the spring or summer garden and keep moist and very warm until germination, which takes about a week. Mature of colour from green to orange.
