Another vigorous climbing plant with pinkish - purple, trumpet-like flowers during summer or even in Autumn of the weather is warm (or in conservatory). Drought tolerant and can be grown on poor soil. Does well on a south wall or on stone, wood or metal fence. It is best to trim the branches back to within a foot of the head in late winter so it will form a dense even top instead of long, leggy branches - however if one likes the longer form, trim it back only half of their length. This does not hurt the floral display as it blooms on the new wood, jut like the Yellow Trumpet Vine. This one is less cold tolerant but extremely showy when in flower - the trusses of pink "trumpets" may cover the whole plant.
