I love Akebias...but you do need to get in close to appreciate the flowers in detail. I hope yours does oblige, K.

Well, now that the dark one is gone, this one is under pressure to perform! :)

15 Apr, 2013

 

You'll be pleased to hear that this one is nowhere near as vigorous as the dark one!

Oh, thanks for that, that is good news!

Glad you like it, Sticki. The maroon one is lovely too, and really does smell of chocolate! :-))

I can't make it appear, but I expect so. There is only one maroon one, after all.

oh sorry, probably too long a link, i shall look out for one ~ do they need sun?

18 Apr, 2013

 

Not full sun. The cream one gets more shade than sun!

Mine has a few little tight buds on it - so it'll be a while before it flowers. Good luck with yours!

My maroon one is full of flower Barbara, but I would like to get the cream one. I've never had it seed though, supposed to look like sausages I believe o:))

Guess what - we need a warm summer to get any seeds!
