Clerodendrum

I have a white (glory bower?) and a reddish purple bleeding heart vine.
i noticed today that there are a bunch of clerodendrum seedlings. should i let them go and just do their thing? i know at least one is the red because it had germinated before i got the white one.
how easy are they to transplant?
thanks jen

It is fairly easy to transplant the white as long as you get some dirt with the roots. I don`t have the red though.

thanks for the info!
i think ill just let them stay where they are for now and develope a stronger root system. this is the 2nd full summer that the red has been in the ground and looks very healhty. i had no idea that it had set seed, let alone that it had dropped them, lol
thanks again

I know that with the Clerodendrum, you are suppose to cut them down in the wintertime. Since, you must enjoy summertime temperatures year round, I would cut the plant down by the end of the year. This will cause the plant do develop a very strong root system, become nice and bushy, instead of tall and spindly, plus, you will get more flowers produced on the "new wood". Hope this helps :~)

Shirley, I didn't know that. Is that why mine get so scrappy in the winter?

mine always die back after the first hard freeze.
cala, is yours in the ground or a pot? i wonder if i kept mine in a pot if it would continue to grow and bloom inside.
