Lovely deep blue in color, some blooms are single and some are double all on same vine. Tight leaves of a beautiful deep deep green. This is definitely one to grow in a pot or hanging basket where you can see it, the leaves tend to "hide" the blooms if it is growing up a stake.

Since it does not grow tall and long, it is suitable for hanging baskets which should be hung against a lighter background so that the blue flowers are at their best.

The flowers are dark blue in the morning when it is open, turning to a purple by noon and darkish pink by evening before closing up. On warm days it closes earlier.
