The Sky Vine Trellis is a large, fast-growing, twining shrub with rich, dark green leaves and clusters of 4-6” sky-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers. This plant is beautiful on a trellis, fence, pergola or other support. It can also be grown in containers. This could easily an amazing garden feature. If grown indoors the Sky Vine needs sun and warmth. This plant attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
The Sky Vine Trellis likes full sun exposure, but will do best with a little afternoon shade. For watering, water when the soil is dry to the touch and maintain it evenly moist. Make sure the soil is well drained and do not oversaturate. This plant will tolerate dry periods, however it thrives with regular moisture.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
