Cathedral Bells Purple And White Seeds

Cathedral Bells is a fast growing climber loved for its large bell shaped blooms and elegant trailing habit.

 

It produces long reaching vines that carry striking flowers which open pale green before deepening into rich violet tones as they mature. Each bloom hangs like a lantern giving arches trellises and pergolas a graceful cascading look.

 

Cobaea scandens thrives in warm bright positions and settles quickly into fertile free draining soil where it can stretch to its full height. It is ideal for covering fences arches and tall supports and brings a lush tropical feel to summer gardens. The foliage is fresh and vibrant and the tendrils cling easily making it simple to train.

 

This variety is valued for its long flowering season and dramatic presence making it a favourite for gardeners who want a climber that delivers height colour and movement in a single season. The flowers also attract bees and add a touch of theatre to evening gardens as their colour deepens with age.
