Color(s): Orange, Red
Season(s):
Spring
Dirr says: "interesting mocha fragrance, Mid-April in Athens, GA, effective for 3 to 4 weeks; curiously attractive. Because of the large numbers of flowers, superb flower colors and delightful fragrance, this should endear this vine to more gardeners. I do not see any significant reblooming during the summer on the typical brownish red forms; however, an orange-flowered selection ('Jekyll') I made from a wild population on Jekyll Island, GA will produce flowers sporadically through the growing season."
