Visitors to our garden always ask about this beautiful vine. The intense cobalt blue flower color it exhibits is rare in the botanical world. This hard-to-find double form yields a plethora of robust blooms throughout the growing season, without slowing in the heat of summer. A great twinning climber for training on a fence, archway or a support in a patio container. The plants we offer are grown from cuttings and not seeds to maintain this exceptional clone. One of our all time favorite vines.
