Cypress Vine Peach How to Grow Cypress Vine From Seed

Cypress Vine Peach is grown from seed. While it is possible to sow the seeds directly outdoors (after the danger of frost has passed), it can take a long time to get flowers from them in the northern states this way unless growing conditions are ideal. Many gardeners like to get a jump on the growing season by starting the plants indoors from seed in peat pots filled with potting mix, four to six weeks prior to the last frost date. Here’s how:

1. Keep seeds moist for 24 hours before planting.
2. Lightly scar the surface of the seeds using sandpaper.
3. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover them with the potting mix.
4. Keep the potting mix damp and warm (at least 70 Fahrenheit).
5. Wait about 10 days for the seeds to germinate.
6. Water the newly-germinated plants well.
7. Transplant the plants outside after all danger of frost has passed.

Cypress Vine Peach Avoid damping off problems with the seedlings. The fungus that causes this problem is usually the result of overly wet and fertilized soil. Thin out seedlings to make sure there’s plenty of air circulation.
