Rylaff,

That's wonderful and such a coincidence! I have only had the vines for a couple years. I have the Margarite, Blackie and the Tri-color. None ever bloomed until yesterday, Margarite gave one flower. (I thought a Morning Glory had invaded.)

I think you should post your picture and add any pertinent info to the PDB. If I recall correctly, the PDB only shows pics of the Margarite in bloom.

I don't fertilize mine either, imagine the monsters they would be if I did. I put them in the sunny side of my shade garden to over run the weeds, but they seem to be very weed friendly. Now I will have to figure some other way to get rid of the weeds.........who me? pull weeds?

I put cuttings of these in to cover the ground by the fence in October. When I moved here there was a nasty mess of aspargus fern growing up the fence. I pulled it all down, treated it twice with roundup and laid mulch and planted the vines. That durned asp. fern is still coming back.
