Love the delicacy and intertwining growth amongst a border. Also works well in patio pot (with support) as similar to sweet pea. Arrived as tiny plants, therefore won't flower until next year.

I bought a plant 6 years ago. For the first 3 years it lived in a pot, but it was attacked by a nasty black mould. Then it was moved to the garden where it grew into a nice big plant but this year is the first time that a few flowers appesred! They're not a deep blue - more a lavender blue. So yes, be Patient!

Bought this spring 2017 and planted straight away. Grew well, but no flowers as yet. This is most probably because it needs time to establish - hoping that I get to see the flowers this year.

These are great in the spring, with flowering lasting about a month. Deadheading encourages more flowers, but if you want the pods in the autumn and winter, stop deadheading towards the end of the flowering season. The flowers are virulent, even in my slightly claggy and less than ideal soil. the picture really does not do it justice, as there are far more flowers on most plants I have seen, including my own.
