Vigna caracalla Seeds

Corkscrew Vine or Snail Flower

The strange and lovely Snailflower, Vigna caracalla, vines are an attractive and unusual choice for any garden. Vigna caracalla, also known as Corkscrew vine or Snail Flower vine is a stunning plant that originates in tropical South America and Central America. Caracalla means that it comes from Caracas, in Venezuela. Snailflowers are named for their unusual, snail-shaped flower buds.

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.
