I got the seeds from select seeds, they call it Asarina - Creeping Gloxinia 'Satin Slippers'
Asarina scandens. The seedlings were incredibly sensitive to being even close to dry-I killed quite a few. When I took one of the remaining (big by now) plants outside & put it in the sunshine-high up so it could tumble down the railing & side of the steps, it had it's first blossom. I wanted more, so hoped going from an eastern window to an eastern spot outside (with afternoon shade & some protection from wind etc) it would go crazy. it has, but not by blooming. It puts out new tendrils (vines?) and each grow longer & faster daily-BUT no blooms. I water daily (we are very arid, and it's in a clay pot, and quite honestly, I'm afraid to let it go dry. I have have fertilized twice, with Miracle Gro bloom buster...
What am I doing wrong? It's not an annual technically I guess, but in zone 4-5 it will be if I don't bring it in. I would love to have a reason to.
Help!I have two others still inside--no blooms either.
