Blooms appear in delightful whorled clusters at the ends of the stems Spring-Summer. They are a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, bringing your garden to life. From late summer to early fall, you'll notice red berries that, while inedible, add a lovely touch to your landscape and attract birds looking for a snack. The oval leaves have a bluish-green hue.

This twining vine will happily climb a support structure or spread out beautifully as a ground cover. Remember to trim it immediately after flowering to maintain health and beauty.
