Great plant Kell. Do you have that in a container or is it in the ground growing up a trellis? Is it just one plant or many? Bet that really sets off your garden. Wish it was in mine.

kell what did you feed this plant to get it so big and beautiful? i would like to put the seedlings i have in a container. how many would you recommend for a 15" diameter, round planter?

I cannot tell a lie, it is not mine! I pass by 2 huge ones every day going and coming from work. They bloom all year round and cover an entire fence. Very huge! These are in full sun. One is climbing a tree behind the fence. It goes way up! A cheerful sight. LOL. I did have one a few years ago but it was too agressive and was getting into all my plants so out it came. Sadly!
