This vine is in a large pot on my roof. It blooms but so far I've only gotten one fruit and I had to share that with the bugs. It's covered in blooms now and I'm hoping for more fruit this year.

Commonly sold as 'Coqueta Colgante' in Mexico, a good ground cover that stays low and spreads sideways. It is easily rooted from cuttings.

Fabulous plant! It blooms all year here in the tropics. I have it in full sun until early afternoon, not a lot of soil under it as it is on a rocky base, excellent drainage. It was very sad looking until I discovered the slugs were eating it and now that I've put out dishes of beer and conquered the slugs it is coming back. I keep it cut back to fit the space and it is covered in blooms all the time.

It sprawls and the branches are easily broken. I've got it staked on some bamboo and that has helped keep it from drowning in the rainy season.
