Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Blue Sky Vine or Bengal Clock Vine - Dramatic variegated foliage with creamy white bordered green leaves on a vining plant. Spectacular profuse clusters of large blue wide trumpet like flowers all summer. Likes sun to part shade and hardy in zone 8-11
The same large 3" purplish-blue trumpet-like blooms as the common Blue Sky Vine along with the cream and green variegated foliage double the interest of this beautiful vine. The variegated form appears to be just as vigorous as the green form but the foliage is most beautiful where it is protected from afternoon sun.
