  • Description

  • Notes

This tender vine is a great addition to containers. Its chartreuse color is luminous, and its trailing habit makes it ideal for large, tall pots. If you provide a trellis and a little support, it will climb. Blends well with other annuals; used with other tender vines and grasses, it makes a very low-care summer show. Also available is 'Blackie,' with a deep, violet purple leaf. Annual.
