Description

The "Jackmanii" is a deciduous vine that produces dark, velvety purple flowers to 7" across. It makes a spectacular bloom against grey 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:

Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.

Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
