Good early nectar source for returning hummingbirds.
"My vine is now 11-12 years old. It bloomed the firat time after 6-8 years. It doesn't produce a lot of blooms in its part sun location but works well adding texture and interest to a rocky savannah hillside. It grows low, not 40-60"" as described. It's a long narrow ground growing vine."
Native Plants take their time.
"Native plants are a tough sell, and there is a flowering Magnolia in China that displays its first bloom at age 32 if you're lucky. This plant clearly dos not bloom in its first few years, at least here in Salt Lake. I planted 3, and 2 grow really well. I had hoped they would climb trees, like vines from the MidWest where I grew up. These are desert vines and do not climb, they amble through my yard which mostly would be classified as a Savannah. The one that died was dry, and dark, a double stress. The dry area that gets direct sun for a few hours a day, this two plants grow, and will bloom I hope. It's year 4 or 5. Nonetheless, my two plants keep establishing their territory."
Still Sleeping
"Only in it's first season. It overwintered fine,slowly taking off now. We definitely will wait and see."
Great foliage, doing well in zone 6.
"Another food source for hummingbirds with attractive foliage & easy care."
