How to grow
When planting Asarina outdoors it is best to sow the seeds on the surface from late in the winter until the early spring. If preparing Asarina for later transplanting as seedlings, it is best to sow the seeds indoors in peat pots three to four months before they are due to be transplanted outdoors in the early spring when the temperature will not drop below 5 degrees Celsius (41F). Seedlings should be planted at a spacing of 30cm into a sunny area of the garden; ideally with fertile soil, that is moist but well drained, and with a pH of 6 to 7.

Caring for Asarina: Asarina is fairly easy to look after; as they are climbing plants they should have a trellis support to grow upon. Asarina should be well watered and fed on occasion. If you require more plants then cuttings can be taken during the summer.
