Climbing plant with blue flowers
Name : Asarina
This delicate climber has heart shaped leaves and thumb sized blue/purple flowers which give a show all Summer.
It likes climbing up a trellis, or some support. It is a bit frost tender, but can come away in the Spring again.
It will throw the occasional new seedling which you can grow on.
Ive had it growing in pots as well amongst other plants. It will grow up a trellis 2 metres high, but is not invasive...nothing like Convolvulus.
This is a nicely established healthy plant in a pot, which could be gently eased into the ground and it should do well for you.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
