I had the Mucuna species from Logee's too for a few years. It bloomed really great last winter, and I took it out when flowering was done because I needed the room, and it is a big grower. I cut it back nearly to the ground the second year after flowering, and it grew right back. It blooms on new wood so Logee's recommends severe pruning after flowering in their container book. Here it is with a couple of passifloras creeping up on it. They came out too!
