Some gardeners recommend soaking the seeds in tepid water for 2 hours before sowing. This is supposed to quicken germination. Sow the Cypress Vine flower seed indoors 3 - 4 weeks before the end of frost season. Using small pots, sow the flower seeds onto moist starter mix and cover 1/8 inch with soil. Keep the Cypress Vine seed lightly moist until germination. Transplant the seedling outdoors after danger of frost.

Another method would be to directly sow the seeds outdoors after all danger of frost. Once the soil has warmed and can be loosened, sow 6 seeds per foot. Cover with 1/8 inch garden soil, and keep them moist until germination. When seedlings emerge, thin to 9 - 12 inches apart.

Cypress Vine plants grow well in full sun or partial shade. They are not picky about the quality of soil, but it does need to have good drainage. Once the vine is established well, it can withstand periods of drought. However, it will grow faster and have more blooms with regular water. In some warm regions, Cypress Vine will grow as a perennial. It does reseed and show up in your garden the next growing season.
