Thank you! My sister is looking for this plant to add to her yard. Is it hard to grow. She is in zone 9a-10a and have an irrigation drip system and will have to be grown from a container.

It is easy in my heated greenhouse. I have no experience with it outdoors. It does require evenly moist soil. Wilts dramatically and drops flowers if it doesn't get it.

I believe it is Clytostoma callistegioides, violet trumpet vine. It is pretty common up here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Care info here

Susanc, you are right. My bad. I focused on the flowers and didn't put my glasses on and look at the foliage.
