Cobaea scandens 'Purple' Seeds
(Cup and Saucer Vine)
For a truly dramatic and exotic display, grow Cobaea scandens 'Purple', the magnificent Cup and Saucer Vine! This vigorous climber produces large, intricate, bell-shaped flowers that emerge green and mature to a stunning deep purple, complete with a green 'saucer' calyx. It climbs rapidly by tendrils, quickly covering arches, pergolas, or walls in a single season.
Grow Cobaea against a strong trellis, fence or wall for it to scramble up and over. It needs full sun and moist but well-drained soil so water regularly in dry weather.
A spectacular choice for our Climbing Flower Seeds collection! Remember to sow early indoors
