If you are planting members of the Cymbalaria genus such as Kenilworth Ivy from seed outdoors then they should be sown on the soil surface after the last frost of spring. They like to grow in sunny areas, but benefit greatly from receiving shade in very hot areas. Cymbalaria like to grow in moist soil that has a somewhat alkaline pH. Seedlings of Kenilworth Ivy and other Cymbalaria species can be grown from seed indoors. They should be set off about 10 weeks before you plant them out after the last frost of spring. They normally take about two to four weeks to germinate in the light at a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the Cymbalaria seedlings are ready they should be transplanted outside with a spacing of about 6 inches.
These ivies take very little looking after; they should be watered regularly, and cut back and dead headed before setting seeds to prevent them from taking over the garden. Kenilworth Ivy makes a very nice flowering ground cover.
