A medium growth, dense  evergreen vine with deep lavender flowers and a white throat fading to a paler  lavender.

The plant will bloom heavily in the Spring and Fall.

Will have some flowers on and off throughout the year.

It is one of the most rewarding flowering vines that you can grow, unless that  you are a vampire!

Strangely enough it smells like garlic. However, it doesn't smell if the plant  is left alone, only when the leaves are crushed.

Flowering twice a year you will find it quite often covered with flowers.  Flowers start off purple and change to a lighter shade of lavender with age.  Eventually fading to almost white. You will see 3 different colour of flowers at  the same time on the plant.

Great for chain link fences (or any fence), or a large trellis. This vine has a  strong garlic odour, and is even used as substitute for garlic in food.

The entire plant - roots, vine and leaves, are useful. It is used to reduce  fevers, treat colds, throat, and respiratory ailments.

The plant is said to help get rid of bad luck and is a favourite with hunters.

It can be grown in containers and should be trimmed after the flowers are gone.

Grow in well-drained soil-less potting mix. Full sun to half-shade. Avoid  freezing temperatures.
Keep compost moist, but do not over water. Mist leaves every day. Reduce  watering in winter.
