The Cypress Vine (Ipomoea quamoclit), often also called Star Glory or Cardinal Creeper, is a true gem for any garden and balcony. Unlike its well-known relatives with large, heart-shaped leaves, this rarity captivates with incredibly fine, almost fern-like foliage and vibrant red, star-shaped flowers that sparkle like little jewels in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e One young plant in a 7cm pot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eOrigin and the Secret of its Name\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe Cypress Vine originally comes from the tropical regions of Central and South America. There, it grows freely at forest edges and in light thickets. The name \"Cypress Vine\" alludes to its finely feathered, deeply incised foliage, which, with a little imagination, resembles the soft needles of cypresses. Its English name \"Hummingbird Vine\" also reveals who its biggest fan is in its homeland. Even though we don't have hummingbirds here, its long tubular flowers make it an absolute magnet for long-tongued butterflies like the hummingbird hawk-moth!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eDelicate Foliage and Luminous Star Trumpets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe absolute highlight of this climbing artist is the contrast between leaf and flower. The foliage is so deeply lobed that it looks like soft, green feathering. This makes the plant always appear elegant, airy, and translucent, even with dense growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eFrom July, the real spectacle begins: countless small, trumpet-shaped flowers emerge from the fine foliage, opening at the end into a perfect, five-pointed star. They shine in an incredibly intense, velvety cardinal red that catches the eye from afar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eGrowth, Height, and the Perfect Location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe Cypress Vine is a true sprinter and is in quite a hurry to get to the top:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowth habit and height:\u003c\/b\u003e As a classic climbing plant, it winds its way up everything it can get hold of. Within a single summer, it can easily climb 2 to 3 meters (even more under ideal conditions). It absolutely needs climbing support – this can be delicate trellises, stretched wires, rough strings, or an obelisk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ideal location:\u003c\/b\u003e Since it comes from the tropics, it is a true sun worshipper. Give it the warmest, sunniest, and most sheltered spot on your balcony or in the garden. It will also grow in partial shade, but will produce significantly fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe soil:\u003c\/b\u003e Loose, nutrient-rich, and well-draining soil is ideal. It doesn't like waterlogging, but the soil should never completely dry out, especially on hot summer days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eCare and Water Requirements: Thirsty on Hot Days\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eBecause the plant develops an enormous amount of foliage in a very short time, it is very thirsty on sunny days. If it grows in pots or balcony boxes, you often have to water it daily in midsummer. From the time buds form, add some liquid flowering plant fertilizer to the watering can every two weeks – this really boosts flower production, and it will bloom tirelessly until golden October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eWinter Hardiness: A Rousing Feast for One Summer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eHere there is an important difference to many other garden woody plants: The Ipomoea quamoclit is \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"126\"\u003enot winter-hardy\u003c\/b\u003e in our latitudes and is cultivated as an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"156\"\u003eannual summer flower\u003c\/b\u003e.
