Cardinal Climber 100 Seeds Ipomoea x multifida
Ipomoea × multifida, commonly known as the Cardinal Climber, is an annual vine admired for its brilliant red flowers and delicate, finely divided foliage. This hybrid species is a cross between Ipomoea quamoclit (Cypress Vine) and Ipomoea coccinea (Red Morning Glory), combining the best traits of both parents to produce a fast-growing, ornamental climber. The plant features slender, twining stems that can reach up to 3–6 meters (10–20 feet) in a single growing season, making it ideal for covering trellises, fences, arbors, and mailboxes. Its leaves are deeply lobed, forming elegant, fern-like shapes that add a soft, feathery texture to garden displays. From midsummer until frost, the Cardinal Climber produces a profusion of small, star-shaped, scarlet-red flowers about 2.5 cm (1 inch) across, with a flaring, trumpet-like form that glows vividly in sunlight. These nectar-rich blossoms are magnets for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, providing a valuable source of food in pollinator
