Quamoclit

Quamoclit - Q. coccinea is a pretty Convolvulus-like plant, with many small scarlet flowers and slender stems of rapid growth, attaining a height of 6 to 8 feet in a few weeks. It may be treated either as a half-hardy annual, and sown in February or March under glass or in a hot-bed, but it requires a warmer climate than ours to do well. Q. hederaefolia is another pretty species. It has scarlet flowers and lobed foliage, and requires the same treatment. Both are excellent plants for sheltered trellises, as they give abundance of flowers from July to September.
