Hi, are there any annual climbers other than nasturtiums (love them and already have seed) that can be sown straight into the garden/containers. Thanks..

    Sweet Peas.
    Bit early to do it though.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Thunbergia
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Lofos. I've never tried it but thinking of it this year, as I might be home a lot to water it. It can grow up or down, so to speak.
    And cup and saucer plant in purple or white. I bombed with this last year but have over wintered two and giving them another go.

    Morning glories are beautiful but not even the tiniest bit hardy so wait until all the frost is over. They grow very fast though and come in a wide range of colours. 
    I tried Lofos last year wasn’t very impressed lots of leaves not many flowers but that may have been my fault. Possibly like nasturtiums they prefer a poorer soil.
