Question About Butterfly Vine

alameda/zone 8/East Texas

21 years ago

I just purchased a Butterfly Vine from the Antique Rose Emporium. I live in East Texas. I would appreciate knowing something about this vine. It has interesting seed pods and looks to be a prolific climber. Does it bloom all season and keep its leaves in winter? Thanks for any information! I would also like to know its latin name.......

I have had one in the ground near Waco for the past 6 or 7 years and so far it has been evergreen for me. Starts blooming in the spring and is still blooming now. Mine does not set alot of seed but enough to be interesting to see. Mine has been fairly slow growing.

Yes. Mine is evergreen and always showing either flowers or pods(butterfly pods are typically in fall/winter). It laughs at our intense AZ sun!!LOL!! If you truly want to enjoy it..it is better to plant it when you can see it upclose!
