Climber with thumb-sized deep purple/blue flowers - Asarina
This dainty climber will flower all Summer. It is a wee bit frost tender but will come away again.
Little heart shaped leaves and blue thumb sized deep purple/blue flowers, it looks amazing growing up a trellis, or fence. It does well in pots too.
Name: Asarina
This young plant is growing in a 10 cm pot and is 16cms tall. It is this years seedling.
It flowers better with a reasonable amount of sun.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.

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)
