I need a stealth vine.
I have a deck - 33 X11 - that no homes/apts. can see from above, only below from across the river. Here is a pic of the deck from the house view and below.
I was looking for a vine that could cover the slats so I could take some autoflowers out this summer with noone the wiser. My idea was to plant something in these 5 gallon buckets from the deck and drape them over the side to the slope below.
After researching, the Dutchman Pipe flower seemed like my logical choice.
It is a fast growing plant, taking over everything, and is considered one of the best covering vines for privacy.
It smells. More than one posting has says it smells like rotting meat. I can only assume that helps with stealth, besides, I used to think skunks smelled bad.
The flower looks like a pipe from the side!
And it's fuk'd up in the front:
It's poisonous. It is a barrier to many MMJ pests including leaf miners and trips.
It's the breeding ground of the Tiger swallowtail butterfly, and they are pretty.
So it sounds great and I order the seeds, and woah, the packaging says that germination takes 1-3 months! soak, place on top of peat with good exposure to light.
Yet another seed bank says "These seeds germinate at +70º F. Place the pot in a polythene bag and in darkness until after germination."
Does anyone know what I should do? Should I just give up on this pipe dream/vine this year? Any other suggestions for a different vine?
Thanks,
