Crawfurdia

Crawfurdia is a group of climbing perennials known for vibrant, bell-shaped flowers, primarily in hues of blues and purples. These climbers use twining stems to ascend, thriving in forested environments where they can receive dappled sunlight. The lush foliage and striking flowers make them especially noticeable in their native habitats, adapting well to the understorey's variable light.

Water: Crawfurdia thrives in consistently moist environments and prefers evenly moist soil. Weekly watering is ideal to prevent dryness. As an outdoor plant, mulching is beneficial to retain soil moisture during dry spells, supporting its growth cycles effectively.

Propagation: Crawfurdia can be propagated via seed sowing, softwood cuttings, and division. Successful propagation requires good light, favorable temperatures, and well-draining soil. Moderate difficulty may involve seed stratification or rooting hormone. Key steps include collecting seeds, stratifying if needed, sowing in soil, and transplanting seedlings with true leaves.
