This is a lush, slender-stemmed vine, which scrambles over--or through--any support. It has attractive dark green, roughly arrow-shaped leaves, which make a good cover. From late spring to fall, 'Candy Cane' is decorated by 2-3 inch, trumpet-shaped blossoms, white overall with broad, deep pink bands. Sun, most soils, moderate watering for best appearance.
