Plant details
Also known as cathedral bells, this vigorous vine is a native of tropical America, where it grows as a woody perennial. This variety has clear white flowers which is a change from the traditional purple. Plants take a while to flower so it is good idea to sow the seeds early. It may be grown in large pots for standing outdoors in summer, and will behave as a perennial if kept indoors in winter at about 7C (45F). In a very mild winter plants may survive and remain virtually evergreen, but they are usually grown as annuals on a wall, fence or pergola.

we have a large seed pod on our Cobaea scanden - is it possible to save the seeds for next year? if so when is the correct time to harvest them? we have two plants which are in full bloom. beautiful.
