when does cardinal climber bloom?

19 years ago

I have three cardinal climbers planted and all three are growing like crazy (though one is behind due to the #@#! rabbits)...but none show any sign of blooming. The packet information only gives a vague "summer/fall" as bloom time. Well, it's certainly summer! When should I expect to see some flowers?

Hi Barbara,
I bought mine from a greenhouse in the middle of May and it was already blooming. I'm thinking that, planting them from seed, in our zone they may be more like a morning glory and not flower until some time in August? They're worth the wait. Really dainty and pretty.

Thanks for answering. Your pictures are lovely. If mine bloom as heavily, they'll give a needed punch to the garden late in the summer. As you say - worth the wait.
