I often find myself reminding folks that it is OK for their plants to touch and a vine in a tree is only a problem when it grows out of scale.Ī vine that is getting me pretty excited recently is Mucuna cyclocarpa, also known as purple jade vine or in China as min you ma teng.
It seems many gardeners are a bit afraid of vines, especially vigorous ones. They add a touch of wildness in many cases but also add interest when other plants have finished their show or haven’t started yet. I love growing vines in the landscape whether they are climbing an arbor, covering a fence, or scrambling through a tree or sturdy shrub. Purple jade vine’s huge flower clusters resemble a cluster of grapes.
