Comments:
This is a perennial vine that comes back from the roots when its foliage is killed by cold. Flowers are exotic white with pinkish-lavender coloring. The fruit is a favorite food of gulf frittilary butterfly larvae. An easily managed vine for trellis, arbor or fence. It grows along the ground where there is no climbing structure for it to attach itself. The fruit turn golden yellow when ripe and are edible and make a "pop" sound when crushed.
