Comments:
Flowers open in very late afternoon and close around dawn. A fast growing vine after the weather becomes warm. It is a perennial that is treated as an annual in the garden. Becomes quite dominant in the moonlit garden and under artificial lights at night. Tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but performs best in full sunlight.
