    Garlic Vine is a very rewarding and easy flowering vine for sun to part shade. Only smells like garlic when the leaves are crushed or bothered. Flowers twice a year (spring and fall) smothered with purple flowers that change to a lighter lavender then to white. Therefore it has 3 colors of flowers on the vine at one time. CANNOT FREEZE. grows 6-8'
