    It grows wild here and I have it rambling on one side of my garden. It can actually suffocate shrubs and trees as it is so rampant here and is a perennial with us. It is considered to be an invasive species here and strangles the orange trees in the orchards. Nasty but nice to look at ... :)

    Here it is last month on the wall next to my kitchen ...

    I grew this once and it was great as an annual climber at the back of a trough, by mid-summer it was even dropping some seed (ones I'd missed when dead heading) and self sown seedlings were popping up all over the place, obviously they died when the colder weather came, but I could imagine how it might be a pest in warmer climates :WINK1: :D
