We have a cardinal flower grown all summer in a pot on south facing deck very healthy about 6ft tall, has been attracting humming birds. When can it be transplanted and how much to prune it back? It is nearly
done blooming. Also would you know of a trailing or vining variety cardinal flower good for potting ??
Thanks for your consideration .

Here is good information on transplanting although mine bloomed right away. https://www.gardenguides.com/84472-transplant-cardinal-flowers.html
Here is the climber or vine version--it is an annual. https://wimastergardener.org/article/cardinal-climber-ipomoea-sloteri/
