Vigna caracalla
SKU

Intriguing snail shell-shaped blooms start out white and unfurl to purple-pink. This perennial vine provides attractive cover for fences and walls in frost-free regions. Plant where its faint hyacinth-like fragrance can be enjoyed, climbing up an arbor or trellis, or spilling over a patio tub or rock wall. Semi-evergreen.
