Cobaea scandens 'Violet'
- Product number: 514400
- Origin: Mexico
- Latin: Cobaea scandens
A diligent climber that first develops many tendrils and leaves. After a growth spurt of a few meters, flowering begins, usually in August, sometimes not until September: truly a late bloomer! The large, bell-shaped, violet flowers are initially greenish-white. Breathtaking...!
This fast-growing climber blooms in late summer until deep into autumn with large, bell-shaped flowers. In Mexico, it is a perennial, woody climber. So: keep it in a pot and overwinter it frost-free! A true sun-lover. Sow them early, as they have a long growing season.
