Gloriosa Carsonii

Gloriosa Carsonii
Last spring our customers asked "Are there more varieties of these wild, fun vines?", so we set out on a search. We discovered that Carsonii, a chocolate purple and lemon yellow variety is also grown by the farmer in India who grows our other gloriosa lilies. This type is rare, but not any more challenging to grow than the others, which are easy. Perennials in warm areas, these colorful vines enliven fences, trellises and lattice dividers. The foliage is glossy, bright green and oval with tips that often form tendrils. Also excellent for bright sunrooms or greenhouses.

Highlights & Hints
- A hard to find variety that extends the color range.
- These colorful vines grow happily on light weight supports and can manage breezy sites.
- Excellent low growing vines for a touch of the exotic.
