I received this plant about last week and it looked okay when it arrived it had a few dying leafs but i thought it would be okay once i got it in the ground, but unfortunately i planted it right away and it just kept looking more sickly and now it has almost died (maybe a day or two and it will be completely) i read all the reviews and carefully chose this plant because it seemed to have everything i wanted. I am not a beginner gardener so i can't figure it what went wrong and i was so excited as were my kids. Has anyone else received this plant and it didn't do well? Please help i need so advice. I wrote the company and I'm hoping they will send me 2 new ones but we will see how well this company stands by there product. i will write back when i find out more.

I have purchased two of these vines every year for the last three years. I absolutely love this!! This year I am going to put it in a pot to over winter it, I can't stand the wait for new ones to arrive every year.

Since 1800 but the climbing shell plant is new to me. If you have grown this vine please rate the floral impact and vining habits. Thanks.

Non-stop flowers

Bought this plant from Springhill a couple of years ago. We have a covered patio and grew this up the pillars of the patio up to the roof. It grows incredibly fast, and flowers almost non-stop year round. The entire vine is covered in beautiful purple flowers. Last year we got a freeze and all of the folliage died. I thought we had lost it, but a few weeks ago (spring) it started growing up the pillars like a weed again. I love this plant!

I've bought this plant twice now from Spring Hill Nurseries. I needed to dig it up and store it over the winter (zone 5 or 6) but forgot (new baby.) My kids love this plant as much as I do. We've had a lot of success, usually getting at least 5-6 by the end of our short growing season. Will order it again this year but promise to dig it up and overwinter it inside. FABULOUS plant.

Neighbors all ask about it

My area only allows these as annuals, so I placed them in big containers with tall obelisks on each side of my south facing front door and they were so unusual and fun to watch. Each day there was new growth. They had to be clipped back with a scissors almost every day because or they would have gotten out of control, but that was a kick as well. Doing it again this year. I cut some of the flowers and put them in a small vase for my windowsill. People walking by kept asking me what they were.

Last year was my first with this vine and it grew vigorously and I loved it. Am looking forward to seeing what it will do this year. Hope it comes back.
