Snail Vine

Description

A fast-growing tropical climber with unusual spiral-shaped flowers that resemble snail shells. The blooms are cream and purple with a sweet, vanilla-like fragrance. Vigorous climbing habit — covers fences, trellises, and pergolas quickly.

Grows in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Frost tender — protect from cold in winter. Suits warm, sheltered positions in Melbourne. Water regularly through the growing season.

Botanical name: Vigna caracalla
