I love the foliage and the flowers are amazing. I have one in a wine barrel half (with some other annuals) and it has taken over, it is enormous. It doesn't bother me one bit though I love this plant! Maybe next year I will put it in the ground next to my koi pond for it to cascade down the side.I bet it will get huge! I love this plant. | | Neutral | mjfulgham | On Jun 27, 2006, mjfulgham from Madison, MS wrote: This plant is beautiful and a very vigorous grower. I planted one tiny plant from the nursery in my 18" container and it has taken over! I am having to cut out parts of it because it is smothering my million bells. It started out just beautiful and under control and then end of spring just went wild. Here in MS the nights don't get cool enough for this to bloom, but I'm hoping that the foliage will last until frost so that that I can enjoy the blooms that everyone talks about. I tried to propagate this and it lived but hasn't grown - strange?!? | | Positive | hanna1 | On May 20, 2005, hanna1 from Castro Valley, CA (Zone 9a) wrote: It is a hybrid Lotus vine from Proven Winners (r), proven as a Proven Selection (r). Is a cross between L Berthelottii 'Red Flash' & L. Maculata seedling. Does not need 40F to bloom. Will bloom with temps. up to 55-60F. Has more dense habit. Soft orange flowers are more numerous. Flowering period is longer. Flowers are reminiscent of Lobster claws. Silver fine texture foliage. Great in hanging baskets, containers & window boxes. Watering should be regular, medium.
I love the flowers on it, so bright. | | Positive | rwc_gardener | On May 3, 2005, rwc_gardener from Redwood City, CA wrote: Wonderful plant. Best in partial sun. Gives a nice tropical look to any garden, hanging basket or pot. Keep damp during hot months. Long blooming period.

It must be watered everyday in the West Texas summer heat. Doesn't tolerate our extremely hot full sun, but does well in the partial sun on the patio. Foliage stayed with me right up until frost! | | Positive | palmbob | On Sep 8, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Great plant for hanging baskets and groundcover... curious flowers with nice, ferny-soft foliage that blankets the ground. However, it is frost tender, and it not very drought tolerant, either... if I let my soil dry out more than just a couple days in mid summer, the whole plant was toast. Seems to be pretty water needy. In a pot, drying out is similarly a problem- recommend watering daily in pot in hot weather. Seems to look like a full sun plant. | | Positive | Happenstance | On Aug 31, 2003, Happenstance from Fairfield, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: Grown mainly for the foliage which is gray-green, needs WELL drained soil, great with a rock wall or border. |
