A splendid climber, 13ft (4m), for covering trellis-work, chain-link fences and such with a dense screen of foliage, and with a profusion of gorgeous, dark purple, trumpet-shaped flowers 5ins and more in diameter. Strictly a half-hardy perennial, but it may be hardy outside in some regions with frost-free protection in winter. These are young plants and should not be planted out before the end of May preferably when they have a good root ball.
