whats this plant

24 Nov, 2012

 

Its common name is snail vine or corkscrew vine - vigna Caracalla but the seeds are extremly hard to get hold of. Thompson and Morgan sell it as a plant but as I live abroad I have to get the seeds and I havent manage that for the past 2 yrs.
If you want to grow it from seed sow the seeds early eg Nov Dec otherwise you ll not get any seeds from yr plant as its needs a long growing season to get them to mature. It does grow extremly quickly and the perfume is unbeleiveable.
