Reviews

This plant is a personal favorite and had to add it to my new garden. Probably should have picked this one up locally though since it is sold in my area. The root ball on this plant did not fill the one gallon pot I purchased it in and I paid for the larger size to get a head start. I’m sure it will grow fine but disappointing it was shipped before fully rooted in.

Make sure they are planted in a full sun area and that there are no critters eating the blooms

What a treat! Beautiful flowers, amazing scent, lush growth, and even after the blooms are gone, the vine is covered with little white wisps. Last but not least, it continues to bloom throughout the summer and early fall.
