Both plants are climbing up the wire cement reinforcing trellis which is eight feet high. Flowers are on both sides of the plant so we see them smiling at us when we sit on the deck. My first year for this plant. Not sure about its winter weathering capabilities, but will know next year. I consider this plant a garden necessity. It is always a pleasure to view. Durgan.
