Under good circumstances (fertile, well-draining soil and a full sun location), corkscrew vine will produce beautiful and fragrant flowers from mid-July into October. The flowers bloom creamy white, then open to bright lavender to purple flowers. Deadheading spent flowers will lead to healthy growth and continued blossoming. Lack of flowers is usua...
The only problem with this plant is its extremely vigorous growth bordering on invasive. Make sure to shear or head it back severely to control its spread, and remove the spent flowers before they turn into seeds.
