| Can you give me any information on "Snailvine"? Where can I buy seeds and what kind of care do they need. I can't find out much about this plant. |
| Vigna caracalla, also sold as Phaseolus giganteus, is a twining perennial vine that can grow to 20 feet. This fast-growing vine is often used as a bank cover or ground cover. It can also be grown up a trellis to add color and fragrance to a garden or patio. Its fragrant white or yellow flowers are unusual both for their "snail" shape and their violet blush color. It grows well in full sun and average soil. A wholesale source that may be able to tell you who carries the seeds is Royal Lane Nursery, Inc. - Fruitvale, TX - 903/896-4485 I also found seeds available at the garden shop at Monticello. You can reach them on-line at www.monticello.org. Good luck! |
