Comments:
Evergreen vine that is root hardy in zone 8b, has lived there for over 40 years. Has seed pods that look like chartreuse butterflies, which dry to a rich brown and are used in indoor arrangements. Used on trellises, fences, in hanging baskets and as a contaner plant. Mulch the root system when temperatures drop below 25 degrees F.
