Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shared with us by plantsman Ted Stephens from an Asian excursion, this graceful, small vine, to about 6' with narrow, bronze-tinted, shiny, evergreen leaves, has late-season, small sprays of purple-blue flowers. For shade to partial sun; probably tolerant of full sun in damp climates. Certainly enjoys summer water. Perfect for places where wisteria just won't fit or for accents in containers. Has been frost hardy to the bottom of USDA zone 8 and behaves as perennial in zone 7, quickly regrowing.
