My Mexican flame vine is potted in a 12-inch pot. In a month it's grown just 4" and no flowering happened. Even now is July ending. Tell me when this vine starts flowering.
Here is a link with more information.
Can you tell me how to grow Mexican Flame vine from seed? I've tried planting the spent flower heads on top of the soil and beneath but nothing happens. Are the seeds located inside the dead flower heads?? They don't respond to well when I try to grow from cuttings. Any info would be helpful. Douglas
You can also start new plants from cuttings if you are not having luck with seeds.

I live in Dallas and need a plant that can take intense bounce back heat from a west facing wall.
It will but for a short time only (until an extreme winter kills it). It is not very winter hardy in our Z8a winters.
