Snail Vine (aka Corkscrew Vine) is a vigorous climber with very distinctive snail shell flowers in tight, foot-long clusters from midsummer through autumn. Frost tender but just cut it down and will reappear in spring.
The blooms are simply exquisite,with a very strong perfume and have primrose and shell-pink tones against a silvery base. They are shaped something like a nautilus shell, with a thick, coiled center and delicately curved outer petals. Each 1 1/4- to 2-inch blossom is distinctively beautiful -- and you'll get masses of them over the long bloomtime of this 20- to 25-foot vine!
