Unusual Creamy-Green Bells on Easy, Pest-free 20-Foot Vines!
Cup & Saucer Vine Key Lime
Grows rapidly and blooms like crazy!
Enormous, exotic green flowers twisty chartreuse anthers and deep green throats!
An extraordinary color that complements just about any other planting in the garden or container, Key Lime's blooms are big, graceful, silky bells of creamy-green! They crowd for position on this super-fast, extra-showy twining vine, which takes its common name of Cup-and-Saucer from its bloom form--the big cup-shaped blooms arise from a cluster of petals, surrounding the base like a saucer! A charming effect, enhanced by frilly, curlicued anthers of chartreuse emerging from the bright green throats of these huge, silky blooms.
This vine is one of the fastest-growing and most trouble-free plant you will ever see in the garden. Pests do not disturb it; it grows effortlessly by twining to 20 feet; and it blooms abundantly from midsummer to fall. Direct-sow the seeds in full sun or part shade. Pkt is 15 seeds.
