Description

The large amount of flamboyant color on this species creates a wonderful accent in a garden. 'Lavender Queen' can be grown in shrub or vine form, quickly growing 40' tall and 30' wide. Once established, they tend to be carefree. It is susceptible to frost damage. 'Lavender Queen' has large lavender flowers, more bloom than other varieties, most of the year. This plant does well in full sun, well draining, sandy or loamy, slightly acidic soil. Very heat tolerant. Needs little water once it's established. Watch out for thorns.
