I bought this during the sale going on after some of the greenhouse plants had gotten too big. For $1 I got this beauty. I love it!...it hangs perfectly and is even getting tiny little flowers on it. One of my favorites! I had never even heard of this vine until I saw it here on Josh's Frogs. Thank you very much and I look forward to making more purchases from you.
