Pretty purple flowers give off a scrumptious chocolate fragrance. Blue-green leaves are a wonderful contrast to the flowers and are in palm-like leaflets consisting of 3 to 5 leaves. The plant should be pruned very hard in the spring, after flowering, to control growth.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Plant in well-draining soil with average to dry moisture levels.

    First time planting these vines in the PNW. Late start and then cold fall arrived. Still growing strong, but slow. I expect continued growth throughout the temperate winter. Next spring will be the bounce .

    I was impressed both by the care that went into the packaging and the health of the plants. All three arrived healthy. I will most certainly consider Romance for future purchases.
