Seashore false bindweed prefers a spot that receives ample sunlight during the day. It can, however, cope with fewer hours of sun, a trait possibly influenced by its native coastal environment. Too little or too much sunlight can impair its health and growth.
🌡️ Temperature 5–35°C
Seashore false bindweed is a plant native to temperate ecosystems, with a preferred temperature range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C). It is particularly adapted to seasonal temperature fluctuations, but to ensure optimal growth it is recommended to provide warmer conditions during the colder months.

Although Seashore false bindweed has relatively low nutrient needs, applying fertilizer once a year can improve its survival and encourage better, longer-lasting flowers.
