This is a lovely vine and grows well with almost no maintenance in Lakeland Florida. ..and is not invasive like the passion vines (although I have lots of them and love them to pieces too... just have to cut them back every few days to keep them from taking over) Lovely clusters of yellow flowers which the butterflies love... the seed pods form very pretty large green clusters and as they dry and turn brown, you can break them apart into "butterflies." It is quite enchanting. Love love love this vine.

I received this plant as a rooted cutting. The Butterfly Vine has been more drought tolerant than an adjacent Snail Vine. In addition, during the recent hard frost that wiped out my Snail Vine, the Butterfly Vine continued to grow and flower without any apparent cold stress. Did I mention this plant also tolerates the full sun in Phoenix, Arizona?
