Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A vigorous tropical vine that produces large clusters of purplish-red pea-like fragrant flowers from summer to fall. Beautiful medium green glossy foliage. In the northern portions of its range it often tends to have a more shrub-like habit. This is not like Chinese Wisteria that can get wildly out of bounds.
