The listing, Red Humming Bird-Trumpet Vine Seeds has ended.

Red Humming Bird-Trumpet Vine 15+ Seeds.
Easy to grow, like full sun. Mine grow up on a trellis.
Humming birds love these flowers and in the winter you will have plenty of seeds for future plantings.

Trumpet creeper can be germinated by cold moist stratification for up to three months or by planting outside in the fall. Planting the seeds close to the soil surface improves germination because more light is available. Hummingbird vine germination is hit-and-miss, however, with only a 60 percent success rate. You might have more luck with transplanting. Hummingbird vine can be grown from a cutting and tolerates any soil unless it's wet and heavy. This vine is hardy to -30 degrees F and is very drought tolerant.

Because of its invasiveness, be careful where you plant it. If it's next to a tree, it will ultimately strangle the tree. It can get out of hand if it's planted by a house or building. Plant where it has room to roam--along a fence, path or stone wall.
Regularly trim back your hummingbird vine plant in both spring and fall to help shape and control it.

In the fall the plants produce a seed pod. Once it drys you can break it open and get the seeds. Currently I live in New Mexico, much hotter than San Diego. They should do well in your area. To plant, you could start in doors now or plant out side after fear of frost ends. Very simple.
