Plant Cultivation
|
Description:Fairly fast growing vine, usually to 20-30ft, but it can also spread
out in all directions.
Growing Environment: It is quite adaptable and can be grown in subtropical
areas, tropical areas, and any place where temperatures don't frequently
drop below 30F. It also does well in low light conditions and can be
grown indoors. Will tolerate high humidity or arid climates with little
rain, although irrigation should be provided. Grow in full sun or shade.
Pretty flowers will sometimes have a fragrance, which can be smelly,
but the scent doesn't drift from the flower. Will also grow well in
pots.
Hardiness: Hardy to around 30F.
Propagation: By seed. |
