Fast-growing, twining vine attracts butterflies with fragrant flowers from mid-summer into autumn. The 5cm blooms have upper petals that contort and bend backwards, with the elongated keel coiled in 4 or 5 spirals like a Corkscrew. The flowers are quite fragrant and are mostly pollinated by ants - if you have no ants, you'll have no pods and therefore no seeds!
This vine likes full sun and consistently damp soil. It prefers high heat and humidity. In colder climates it does well in a pot if it is overwintered on a patio.
