Cobaea scandens "Cup and Saucer Vine"

A beautiful workhorse from Mexico that will cover a large area (chain link fence), or unsightly view, in one summer. It's completely easy & carefree, and will grow 25' in one season. In midsummer, large (2") cup & saucer flowers emerge dramatically from green calyxes. A profuse bloomer! Climbs by tendrils borne at the ends of its leaves.
