I planted this vine on a 5' fence by the driveway where it gets part sun. It has grown about 6 or 7 feet at this point but I honestly cannot believe how long it blooms for! It was at least end of November since I saw the last few resilient blooms. The color is spectacular. I'm looking forward to this coming season and hoping for a little more length! :-)

Bought two small plants in March 09 and put them into an east-facing window of our porch, so they got a bit cold at night. But they thrived there, and have taken off once planted outdoors in May. I'm loving this one.

Very pretty color, albeit no fragrance whatsoever. However, this blooms from May through September for me, which is quite a long period!

Love love love this plant. There's no fragrance, but the blooms are pretty, and the hummers love them.

I have it up against a south wall in some shade, and it forms a nice screen for my bathroom window.

The ruby throated hummingbird in my yard rarely strays very far from this plant for any length of time!
