I admired a vine in a local garden. The gardener told mine it was called "Australian Pea Vine." The gardener has moved away. I'd like to have them in my garden. I've since come upon the name "dolichos lignosus" or "dipogon lignosus" as the botanical name, but I haven't been able to find anyone who is selling the seed. Can someone lead me in the right direction? |
