Description

The listing, 20 Rare Garlic Vine Seeds has ended.

South America's Mansoa alliacea or false garlic is the new super vine everyone is raving about...BUT no one can find!

Considered "Good Luck" this beauty doesn't belong to the garlic family, yet when its leaves are disturbed it produces a garlic like sent which acts as a natural mosquito repellent.

But the real buzz about this striking climber is its display of "three" fast growing colored blooms on the same plant! Lavender, pale lavender and white tubular flowers overflow this hardy vine most of the the year. This plant will bloom in mild cold, but not freezing temperatures.

This plant is great for containers. Flowers appear on new growth so careful with the pruning! Seeds packaged in glassine bag with color picture and germination instructions. FREE SHIPPING

HAPPY PLANTING!

Questions & Comments

What zones is it hardy in?

Hi Troyce! You picked a beauty :) She's hardy in 8+ but will act as an annual in colder zones since it's fast growing. I'm in zone 8 and we still get those spells of freeze so I would probably cut mine back and mulch about 8" out from its base to protect the roots from cold. Plus,,,this vine can be grown in large pots and stored for the winter.

Pretty Flowers, I also like that it acts like a mosquito repellent. Will be great for my deck.

All you have to do is ruffle the leaves and it goes to work. I'm thinking encircling the whole yard!
