Blue flowered climber....Asarina SOLD
This dainty climber has thumb sized blue flowers, likes a sunny position with reasonably supply of water, and flowers all through the Summer. It is not invasive.
It likes to climb up a trellis, or tree trunk, can last several seasons, though now and again new little plants self seed and can be grown in its place.
It is reasonably frost tender, but I have had them get a little frosted but come away again in the Spring.
I have never seen it for sale in plant shops. I got it originally many years ago when I visited a home where it was growing, admired it and was given some seeds.
Name: Asarina
The last photo is the plant for sale in the blue pot. The other photos are from my parents plants.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
I have only one potted plant of this at the moment.
