I bought this from a native plants nursery here in Florida, and got the medium blue type. The flowers are lovely, small and bell shaped with recurved petal tips, very decorative. It is more a sprawler than a climber, and it does prefer partial shade down here, woodland soil, and moisture. It will withstand occasional flooding but isn't happy about that. I wish I had a photo of its flowers. If you have the chance to grow this gentle beauty, take it!
