Lavender Trumpet Vine
Clytostoma callistegioides
SKU
1255
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.
