Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Jade Vine is a rare flower that puts on a stunning display! We saw this plant in its glory, vining on arbors and lath houses in the south, with outrageous turquoise blooms dangling in midair. This robust climber produces large chains of turquoise flowers, over a foot in length, from late spring through early summer. Rare and much sought after, this Philippine native requires room to grow. Its vining trunk needs to reach ¾” in diameter before blooming begins.
