| Description | An easy to grow, robust, woody tropical vine that easily attaches itself to fences and arbors with tightly clinging tendrils. The blanket of large, glossy, dark green leaves is a lovely contrast to the light lavender, trumpet-like flowers that have dark venation, giving them a painted appearance. Blooms continuously throughout summer. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Late spring through summer |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Attracts Hummingbirds, Easy Care, Attracts Pollinators, Fast Growing |
| Problems/Solutions | Drought Tolerant |
| Growth Rate | Fast |
| Growth Habit | Climbing |
| Flower Attributes | Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers |
| Landscape Use | Espalier, Privacy Screen, Ground Cover |
| Design Ideas | Few vines can match the subtle beauty of this lavender-flowering Trumpet Vine. A natural for cottage gardens in climates too warm for Clematis. Has a tropical look, but fits into traditional schemes as well. Drape over walls and fences. An excellent shroud for chain-link fences as tendrils will attach themselves. A perfect cover-up for side-yard utilities and for training up porches and railings. |
| Flower Color | Purple |
| Foliage Color | Dark Green |
| Companion Plants | Fountain Grass (Pennisetum); Lantana (Lantana); Rose (Rosa); Hibiscus (Hibiscus); Cross Vine (Bignonia) |
| Care Instructions | Grows most vigorously in moist, fertile, well-drained soils, but highly adaptable. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; once established, tolerates periodic drought. Provide climbing support. Remove spent blooms to encourage prolific flowering. Prune after flowering to control size. |
