The Snail Vine from Central America to tropical South America is a beautiful vine and well worth growing. Flowers are usually pale purple, possibly with cream or yellow markings. Their shape reminds of a snail.

Fast growing perennial vine to 20’, it is not very hardy. It generally dies back in winter, doesn't really do well below 50 or 40 degrees. Being a fast grower, it catches up the following spring, growing fast when the weather turns warm and twining up everywhere. If the frost kills the top in Phoenix, cut to ground, and it will restart in spring. A good vine for the low deserts, it tolerates reflected heat. Full sun, regular water.
