    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Selected at Longwood Gardens for habit and color. This US native (we don't offer any of the Asian, invasive species) will sport many clusters of rich purple flowers in late spring and early summer. We've seen it repeat bloom right through September! The best show can be achieved by trimming your vine to four buds from last year's new growth just before this year's growth begins.
