A semievergreen vine that can reach up to 15' fairly rapidly. It only needs something to twine upon. Small lavender flowers appear during summer months. Accepts full sun or part shade. Will usually cluster at the top of the trellis. Small hairs on the foliage may cause irritation. Can be evergreen in warm areas. Native to Mexico.

Frost tolerant to 25 F.
