There are several of these vines currently in the greenhouse that are volunteers from plants I grew several years ago to twine up Leon’s “Pod” sculpture along the driveway.
I’ve grown variants of these vines before that had red flowers and darker green leaves–I liked them better than the lighter clone these seedlings represent. They have light green, delicate foliage, lots of tendrils, and orange flowers that look like little guppies to me.
Since this plant is a tender perennial (I’ve had them winter over outside before in mild winters), I plan to take good care of the biggest seedling in the greenhouse and next spring, I’ll plant it next to the “Pod” again with some purple morning glories–that makes a great combination!
