    Hi everyone,

    I have this packet of Half Hardy ( Tender ) climber seeds, by Johnsons.

    Can anyone help identify what they are please and also if any need pre-soaking or any other special treatment.

    I'm most interested to find out if there any Mina Lobata and Ipomea Cardinal Flower in there as they are in the photo.

    I think probably I should tag ( or whatever it's called ) @longk

    Green = Ipomea varieties
    Black = Ipomea lobata?
    Blue = Ipomea quamoclit?
    Yellow = Tropaeolum peregrinum or Cobea scandens
    Pink = looks a little like Lablab

      Hi Longk,

      Thanks a lot for that :)

      Are there any that I need to soak or can I just sow them all normally ?

      I usually soak the Ipomea varieties (not strictly necessary though), Cobea and the Canary Creeper.

            You know me, I hate to disagree, especially with Sir Longk:biggrin:
            I go along with Ipomea and Mina lobata and maybe some Tropaeolum.

            But cant see any Cobea.
            These are Cobea.

              Agree :heehee: The "or Cobea" are just above the pink line :biggrin: Possibly only now as your seeds look flatter so they could be boogered if I know now!

                Hi Pete,
                I ain't got anything flat like that. I'll have to keep me eyes open for some of them.

                Thanks to both of you :)
