Description

An evergreen vine (in mild climates) that quickly grows to 30 feet with dark green to almost blackish, ovate-lanceolate leaves. In mild climates, the star-shaped white flowers, produced abundantly on a branching inflorescence, can bloom year-round, the peak bloom period being in spring. Plant in sun or part shade and water regularly. Cold Hardy to 10 °F. Reportedly tolerant of near seashore conditions. A fast growing, attractive vine that can quickly cover a small arbor or chain link fence. As will many plants in the potato family, vegetative parts are poisonous as are the fruits, so they should not be ingested and fruit should be cleaned up so pets do not eat. Does best with regular watering.
