Cyclanthera Seeds

Cyclanthera seeds produce fast-growing, warm-season vining plants commonly cultivated as annual vegetables. Plants develop long, climbing vines with a spreading growth habit and require trellising or other vertical support for best performance. Cyclanthera grows well in warm climates with a long growing season and consistent sunlight. It is suitable for garden beds and open planting areas where space is available for vine growth. Plants adapt well to fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering throughout the growing period.
