Beautiful flowering vine native to tropical America, from Central America to Brazil and the Caribbean. The garlic scent is from crushing the leaves, not the blooms.
Woody climbing vine
Clusters of lavender flowers mid-winter and spring
Put on a pergola or arbor as a focal point in the garden. Not an aggressive grower so can be in a container garden.
Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months.
Hard prune at the end of winter to promote new growth.
