Hi!

I have a southern facing stucco wall which receives full sun on which I just built a trellis on a 20' 20' wall and I'm real happy with the results.

I'm in zone 10b, my soil is well draining. and want the whole trellis covered quickly and blooming regularly. I've read that in zones like mine, several varieties bloom throughout many parts of the year. I've primarily used Monrovia's website for info. Some varieties are expected to reach 15' while others are 20-30'. I've looked at James Walker and San Diego Red, the latter I could pick up tomorrow in likelihood. I am interested in a purple variety that meets my requirements however. I've seen the Purple Queen as listed as "compact" with a growth of 15'. I'm worried I might end up disappointed with the speed of growth and mature height.

Does anyone have any information on what to expect? Is there a purple variety closer to the 20'-30' range?

Finally, with my aspirations of a green wall, so to speak, how far apart would it be advisable to plant?
