Description

Unique Fragrant Potted Plants for Sale | Corkscrew Vine

Are you looking for an unusual "wow" plant for your tropical garden? Well, then you're going to love this fragrant vine! Vigna Caracalla, also known as the Corkscrew or Snail Vine for obvious reasons, is cherished for its clusters of unique, multi-hued purple, pink, ivory, and yellow flowers. The spectacular show begins in mid to late summer and lasts until fall, with the possibility for an early spring bloom.

Growing up to 20', Corkscrew Vines are fast-growing perennials in warmer regions propagated by seeds (well, technically, they're beans). While this heat and humidity-loving plant is hardy in zones 9 and above, it makes a fabulous container plant in any climate. Enjoy!

Slow to bloom but worth the wait!

I have never seen anything like these gorgeous corkscrew flowers. They are really gorgeous and the vine is prolific. They did not bloom until late summer but when they did -- WOW! Expensive but worth it.

Things that make a difference

Excellent customer service. To me the health of the plant is important but the response of the customer service team is even more important. Good job.

Stunning and fragrant

I bought a corkscrew vine from Easy to Grow in the spring of 2024. I can say I don't regret it. I have it in a 12 inch pot growing up a tomato cage. It always blooms at the height of hurricane season for me here in Lousiana.

In the winter, I tuck it in the back room, with only heat from the gas water heater to provide warmth. No water the whole time. After frost danger is gone, I bring it out onto the porch. It has done well so far. With more light, the leaves are chartreuse, but darker green with less shade.

The plants came healthy and good shape.
I transplanted them both to one larger pot. They are thieving.
I am looking forward to flowers someday!!

Once blooming The scent is awesome. It is twinning up a stake hopefully it will bloom soon.
This has become a “difficult to find”plant.
Very glad that easy to grow is carrying this plant.

Beautiful plant!

I have ordered from several different plant suppliers this season, and I have to say the vine I received from ETGB is the nicest, healthiest plant I have received from any of them. It arrived in a timely manner and was packaged very well, which resulted in a lovely, undamaged plant. I’m very pleased and will order additional plants in the future.

The plants were very pale, dry and stressed upon arrival. They are finally recovering and starting to grow. I’m hoping they will green up over time.

Great Plant

My plant arrived in great condition and is now growing by leaps and bounds in my backyard. I've always wanted one of these beautiful plants, but they are difficult to find. I was so happy to find them on your website. I can wait to see its beautiful blooms!

Stunning

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever grown, bar none. Everyone who has seen it is just enchanted with it. The blooms look so delicate but actually are pretty sturdy. The color is amazing! I just can't say enough good about it! I hope to get more! even to give as gifts!

Outstanding!

It’s been a long time since I’ve ordered a plant, it was just too depressing to sent half-dead twigs. My Vigna Caracalla just arrived and I’m so pleased. It’s a robust plant, well packaged. It’s up to me now, but at least I have a good start. I will order from this company again!
