Elegant, Spiraled and Highly Scented "Corkscrew Vine!"
COCHLIASANTHUS (VIGNA) CARACALLA VINE

"The most beautiful bean in the world."...Thomas Jefferson

Let this swirling beauty fill your garden in dreamy scents of hyacinth and jasmine, while entreating your eyes to one of nature's more fascinating blooms.

Join Jefferson and add this mysterious vine with its nautical shell or snail-like blooms to your historical garden. Or give as a special gift for the coming holidays!

Super easy to grow: plant seed and then, sit back, relax, and wait for summer to entice Corkscrews cascading clusters of creamy shades of white, lavender and yellow ocher spirals to appear. During the first season!

HEIGHT: South 15-20'. North 6-8'.
ZONES: 9-11 Perennial. Direct sow or start early indoors.
ALL OTHER ZONES: Pot plant with something to grow on and take inside or overwinter in the greenhouse. It will continue to grow by a warm bright window. This tropical plant will not suffer the cold. Mid-Spring: Place overwintered plant outdoors in cool shaded area to allow ants to pollinate.
BLOOMS: First season. Late summer-early fall. Ant pollination will produce long seed pods which should be removed while still green and before a chill sets in.
SUN: FULL SUN-PART SHADE. Corkscrew is fast growing and adores the sun.
WATER: Moderate (keep watered). Fertilizer every 2 weeks during growing season.
Easy to germinate, soak seed 12 hrs. Can propagate from cuttings.

*Wiki: Corkscrew vine, also known as the scented "Snail Vine," has been reclassified from the Vigna family to Cochliasanthus caracalla, as the only member of this genus.

Oh I agree with you Donna...its a fascinating plant. Started my first one this last season and she was a bit slow on the get go but then blossomed into a beautiful vine rather quickly...and then, I had the thought of removing it from my deck for rain water, forgot about it and the deer at it :( Those rascals. Time for a do over.

It sure will K . . .right beside your Tacca by that southern window (+_+) But when your spring warms 65+ degrees it will need to go outdoors for ant pollination to create the spirals. If night temps drop below 65 she must go back inside with you.
