GOOD LUCK GARLIC VINE

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 the entire plant is edible and the leave are used as a garlic substitute in cooking. But there is another reason this gorgeous vine is considered good luck. It's thought to deter those pesky "Bloodsuckers" lurking in every garden! When Mansoa's leaves are disturbed their natural garlic sent acts as a natural mosquito or (if needed) Vampire repellent.

Bloodsuckers aside, 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.

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

Questions & Comments

Good for zone 7b, or, will it need protection from blizzards (Januarys' mess)?

Hmmmm....blizzards!? Sorry Deb, but she's from the South American rain forest and will have to be potted and sit the winter out with you in the warm cozy indoors. I didn't realize I hadn't posted the zone 8b and higher. If not outbid, we can trade for something else :)

My bid is 45K incase someone wants to outbid me.

I'm assuming this is perennial, by what you say here, but is it a woody vine? Can it be grown as an annual?

Aug 7th, 2016 at 4:05:51 PM PDT by

Yes, it is a woody perennial in the sub & tropical zones. Because it won't tolerate the cold it has no time grow and establish itself as an annual in a short summer. Yet, it can be potted and overwintered indoors or greenhouse.

I tried that with a hawaiian Wedding vine and it has NEVER bloomed for me so, I'll let someone else have this. My house is chock full of overwintering plants as it is! LOL

I hear ya :) Main problem is usually lack of good light. Winter is pretty crowded around my house too, lol. Catch ya on the next auction!
