WOW. I have never seen this before. At first I thought it was wisteria. Amazing purple piles of fluff!

Lakeland, FL

Do you happen to have any seeds from this plant?

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

LOL! Here it is a little over 1 year later and I came across this photo again and had the exact same impression of it. Was surprised to see I had already commented on it.

It has no fragrance, unfortunately.

I have to comment again to make it 5 years running of admiration. I have seen it in person now at 2 public gardens in glass houses. Just gorgeous for sure.

St John's, Antigua and Barbuda(Zone 10a)

I have a cutting that is now about 2 ft high and I really want to put it in the ground, can anyone suggest a pretty support for it?

Lafayette, IN(Zone 5a)

I planted mine at the base of two palms. They have no supporting structure.

WOW, a lot of tumbling purple!

Miami, FL

Awesome!!

After seeing this, I most definitely have to move my new plant to somewhere where it will have room to spread! Can't wait for the show!

Lafayette, IN(Zone 5a)

This vine loves a sunny, dry location. Mine is on the west side of my yard.

Clermont, FL(Zone 9a)

I have had 2 for 3 years and no blooms yet. I moved both to sunny location so I'm hoping. They are really beautiful. One is growing much better now and I treat it like it was gold. Sure looking forward to blooms someday.
