monterey, do you have this growing in a pot? or in the ground

I'm interested in getting this one, but not sure of its hardiness/invasiveness. It would go near the poolshed where the honeysuckles are now.

Going to move the honeysuckle :(

I put it in a 5gal. I think a 15gal pot with a 2 by 2in by 6 or 8 ft with cross bars in the pot would be cool. You can move and it can't get too big. Besides you can trim it. It's like a weed.

Don't worry! As our governor would say! It is not an annual.

Do you want that color?There is a vine called heavenly blue. It's an annual, but it would be all over the place anyway. You could change the color every year to suit your mood. You don't need to lock yourself into anything. I am growing the blue 2 to 4 japanese and 3 sets cardinal climbers, just for fun!these guys have grown 6 ins in 6 days.Cardinal cilmbers.

nah Wouldn't have to have blue, but it would bring out the colors in the pool. Probably a bright/light colored would be best

I'll look it up

tack s� mycket!
