Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Enjoy this WINTER BLOOMING beauty with its dangling bells of lightly scented, chocolate red velvet produced all winter long (and sporadically the rest of the year!). Evergreen vine that grows 12-18’ fairly quickly (or you can keep it smaller in a pot with a trellis). Easy to grow in a fertile, moist, well-drained soil in sun to half day sun; needs support. Good pollinator plant for early bees. Lightly prune after flowering. Place where you can enjoy those winter flowers close up all winter long!
