Unique colored flowers - rose, cerise almost - in bright lime green calyxes have a really eye-catching contrast. It's been a great vine for me this summer, despite my rather inconsistent watering practices. Blooms typically appear on ends of vines.

Ivy like leaves - leaves might be a bit bigger (see pictures) if it had more water and little less sun (southeastern exposure).Uses stems of leaves to twine with - can climb if trained but doesn't normally.

Not hardy in 6b, will bring inside to over-winter.

Arching branches bear pink flowers all season. Flowers are trumpet shaped and pendulous. Great for containers and hanging baskets. Branches can reach 2' in length.
