Does anyone have any experience with the Cup of Gold vine? I hear its a fast grower and was wondering how tall a nice sized seedling (maybe a foot and a half tall, in a container) would be by the end of this summer and if it would make any blooms at that age. Is there a blooming cycle for these like a specific season they bloom in, or will they bloom well all year?

Thanks a lot in advance, HAPPY New Year! :) :) :)

Palmtree - we had these years ago in Africa - and as I remember them, they grew fast and lanky and so had to be tied in to a frame. The rest is lost in the mists of time - but a beautiful plannt!!

Thanks. They really seem like beautiful tropical vines. I hear that they are very strong, so Ill try to keep it from tearing things down! Im going to try them out, it doesnt seem like too many people out of the tropics are trying this vine as a container plant.
Thanks again, and good luck!
