Talkback: How to grow annual climbers from seed
This is such a fabulous idea. I love it!
When looking for a plant and not knowing it's exact name, being able to sort by 'Most Popular' or 'Early Flowering' or other similar catergories would be really useful, like when I do my shopping, I can choose 'Price Ascending' or various other ways. This may be already in the pipeline..?

I'm growing Black-eyed Susan for the first time this year but there's also climbing nasturtium, Morning Glory and Canary Creeper, amongst others. It's probably a bit late in the day to start growing all of them from seed now as some take a while to get going but many of the plant catalogues sell annual climbers as plants.
Morning Glory can still be planted now, and will flower well this year.
I also had a go at 'Eccremocarpus scaber'.
My gardening has always been a bit 'irregular'so I don't see anyone having any problems bringing these on from seed. It might be a bit late now .. but next year!(Always 'next year').
I also found Black-Eyed Susan easy from seed and many Garden Centres only seem to stock this as larger plants with what seems to me a hefty price tag.
Off subject just a little, the mention of Sweet Peas reminded me that I also grew the perennial sweet pea from seed with no difficulty. Now, I'm not sure of the value of the plant.
Good morning Asmodius - I've not grown Cobea scandans - would it take to a shady bank? I could do with some additional coverage of the fence behind the bank until the clematis get going.
With a name like yours I'd have thought you'd grow Kniphofia
