Description

The "Jackmanii" is a deciduous vine that produces dark, velvety purple flowers to 7" across. It makes a spectacular bloom against gray leaved plants. The plant blooms in the summer, but will rebloom in late fall if it is cut back after flowering. This variety blooms best with warm springs. This vine should receive sun to part shade, with average watering. It prefers shaded, cool roots. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust will also break down and improve the soil.
