Pineland Jacquemontia  Jacquemontia curtisii

Increasingly rare plant that used to be found crawling along sunny rocky ledges throughout the open pinelands of the three southernmost counties in Florida. 

Its delightful flowers (about 1" across) are found throughout the year, making it a charmingly photogenic subject anytime it's not too dark out.

A non-aggressive vine in the Morning Glory family, it can be used in a variety of landscape situations, such as in a pot in a sunny corner of the patio, or trained along a chain-link fence or similar structure, anyplace which adequately displays its tendency to reach for the sun.

To have it in your yard is to invite a variety of nectar-seekers (including, but not limited to, bees, which are the least camera-shy of the visitors).

We have some nice ones available in 2- and 3-gal. containers.
