Cup & Saucer Vine Duo

Description

One packet each of Cobaea scandens and Cobaea scandens alba.

Cobaea scandens

A showy climber for the cool greenhouse, conservatory, and also forming a very decorative screen on trellis or south facing wall in milder areas. The large bell shaped 'cup and saucer' flowers are often 6cm (2½ in) across. Flowers late summer. Climber.

Cobaea scandens alba

A spectacular climbing plant for the summer garden or the conservatory. This very choice creamy white form of Cathedral Bells or The Cup and Saucer Plant comes from Mexico and quickly grows to cover unsightly areas or a wall outdoors, where it can be treated as a summer annual. Alternatively it may be grown in the heated conservatory or greenhouse, where it will continue to flower for many years. Flowers summer. Climbing Height 3-6 metres (10-20ft).

EXCELLENT LATE FLOWERING ANNUAL
By DIANA GOODEY 09-10-2011
Grow Cobaea amongst other climbing plants on pergolas, walls and arches for large, blowsy purple and white flowers which add a somewhat sub-tropical effect late in the flowering season. Easy to grow from seed and one plant will cover quite a wide area with purple twisted tendrils and highly veined leaves. Well worth the effort!
