Professional Growing Information 
Ordered and planted this Tangerine Slice A-Peel® - Black-Eyed Susan Vine 3 summers. Grows fantastically. One plant goes a long way. Next time I get this though I'm going to buy more than one for an even bigger show. If you're going to grow this plant in a pot be sure it's a larger pot so that the plant has room to grow. Love the black licorice smell of the vine too. Can't wait to grow it again this season.

Given something to climb on in landscapes and upright containers, it will do so, otherwise it will sprawl and potentially climb nearby plants.

Not only do I love this plant, so does everyone else! The foliage is a lovely shade of green and the bi-color flowers can't be beat. I have this growing in full sun and even in the heat of the day, the foliage stands up to the temperatures of Minnesota. It climbed up my hanging basket trellis beautifully, this is one of the best vines in my garden. Many have asked what the vine is and I am happy to recommend it!

I planted 4 of these in a container that has an obelisk in it and they are climbing up beautifully and they cascade down around the stand about 4 feet. They are simply gorgeous and thriving. I love this plant and will make it an annual addition to my garden!!!!!
