Cobaea scandens is an impressive climber and is one of the fastest-growing and most trouble-free vines you will ever grow. In its native Mexico it makes a woody, evergreen perennial. Here it grows 10ft or so over the summer and, from summer until the first frosts, produces very large and distinctive flowers that begin a greenish-white but turn to an inky purple with age.

The bell-shaped flowers are up to 5cm (2in) in diameter and have a ruff of bracts - hence its common names, cup and saucer plant or cathedral bells. The flowers are on longish stalks that hold them out in front of the leaves.
