Great vine for fast cover of fences, etc. Blooms in the late summer well into fall. - Can become invasive at times, but easily trimmed. Loves humid weather.

Well worth growing for it's delicate pea like flowers. A real keeper in a "natural" garden. Grows fast and isnt fussy. Leaves are as delicate looking as the flowers. Great for covering string/board arbours.
