One of the most invasive plants I've ever seen in my life...EVER, and I have EVERYTHING.

If something wants to live this badly, then perhaps I should let it...I think it's earned the right.

This is a great little fast growing vine which can be used as either a hanging houseplant, hanging basket planter outside, or a groundcover. It will recover from being very wilted with very little or no evidence of damage. In a pot, if it gets too big, just pull out your shears and cut it down to about an inch or two and in a few weeks it will be back thicker than ever. Cute little Snapdragon like yellow flowers.
