Dainty blue Climber.....Asarina
This dainty blue climber is not invasive and throughout the Summer produces masses of purple/blue thumb sized flowers. It grows in hanging baskets well too. It needs something to climb up like a verandah post or trellis or along a wire or it can sprawl out of a basket or pedestal pot.
I first saw it many years ago a mass of blue flowers up the post of a verandah and was very taken with it. I have one climbing up a Palm tree.
Strictly speaking it is an annual but I have the same plants coming away again in the Spring for 2 or 3 years in a row. It does seed with little plants but I've never found it a problem. I usually prick them out and grow them on.
Thanks for looking. Pickup is in Kuripuni.
The plant for sale is the one in the square black pot. ( the last photo)

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
