Luxurious in so many ways.

A fantastic and very satisfying vine with gorgeous bell shaped purple flowers that look too good to be true. But it’s true! In one season it will quickly cover a wall or fence if it’s in a happy spot. Cobea wants something to climb on: fence, trellis, wires, tree. A very quick grower. Give rich, well-drained soil. It likes sun but can take some morning or afternoon shade. Protect from deer. It is generally an annual in zone 8 climate but can overwinter in a protected location. Flowers are great for cutting!
