Super easy to grow, very hardy flowering vine! Best in full sun to partial shade location. Large amount of small white fragrant flowers from mid summer to frost. Flowers attract bees and butterflies. Flowers are good for cut flower. Its flowers have sweet fragrance similar with vanilla. I notice it is only noticeable when plant blooms large amount of flowers.

It is cold hardy and tolerant heat. USDA Zones:5-9. (But some believes it is 4-10/11.) Mature size:20-30′(H) x 1′(W). Easy to propagate from seeds, layering or cutting. It is tricky because thin stem (some people had done it) but it is possible to graft Clematis vine. Imagine a strong clematis vine with different varieties graft together, it will bloom almost whole year with different color flowers.. 🙂

Suggest Care: Cut back 1/3 in the early winter to promote more new shoots in spring.

超容易栽種,非常強健的蔓藤花卉! 以全日照到半日照處栽種為佳. 仲夏到結霜的這段時間是花期,開大量芳香的小白花,花香要花量夠多才會明顯,香甜的花香像是香草.

耐寒又耐熱. 成熟株高可達20-30呎,寬1呎. 容易以種子,壓條,扦插來繁殖. 雖然因其莖細,難度較高但是有人已做過,證明是可以嫁接鐵線蓮的.–想像一下粗壯的鐵線蓮可以一年到頭開不同顏色和品種的花.. 🙂

植株的維護建議:初冬時由開花處末端剪除三分之一,以刺激來春分枝以達到分化更多會開花的新芽.

Nice perennial herb and vegetable. I usually use scissors to harvest the whole plant from the ground level. They are very hardy and so easy to grow in any full sun to partial shade location. White flower balls in summer attract bees and butterflies. Flower stems before flowering is vegetable, good for stir-fry. Flowers are good for cut flower use. Self seeds easily. Plant clumps can be divided in early spring for propagation. Cold hardy and heat tolerant. USDA Zones:4-13. Mature size:2′-3′(H) x 1.5′-2′(W).

很好的多年生香菜和蔬菜. 我通常是用剪刀在土表面高度剪下整棵. 它們非常強健並容易栽種在任何全日照到半日照處. 夏天開白色小花球,頗吸引蜂蝶. 花苞可食,花可做切花. 容易自行結子繁殖. 也可於初春時分株來繁殖. 耐寒也耐熱. 成熟植株高約2-3呎,寬幅約1.5-2呎.

It is a very hardy flowering shrub with a long blooming time from July to November. Best in full sun location. Flowers only on new shoots so it is better with heavy pruning in fall. In spring the shrub will promote new shoots when the summer comes those tips of shoots will be full of flowers. Flowers attract bees and butterflies. Easy to grow and easy to propagate. Normally propagate from grafting, also can be from seeds and from green wood cuttings. USDA Zones:5-9. Mature size:10′-12′(H) x 10′-12′(W) but it is easy to prune to smaller size.

木槿是很強健的灌木,這種木本花卉以全日照為佳,花期很長從7月到11月. 花只開在新枝條所以秋末冬初時可以強修剪,這樣春天會多分枝,夏天時那些於春天發的新枝末稍才會花開滿滿! 花為頗吸引蜂蝶的蜜源. 容易栽培和繁殖. 一般以嫁接為主,使成一株有多品種及花色,也可以種子或新枝扦插的方式來繁殖. 耐寒也耐熱. 成熟植株高約10-12呎,寬幅10-12呎.
