Quick Overview

Cobaea scandens 'Alba'. The cup and saucer plant

Product Description

This is one of my favourite plants growing in the white garden at Sissinghurst. There it covers arches over the path. Grown in a greenhouse, this will flower almost twelve months of the year.

Cobaea scandens are a fantastic, exotic looking plant. I’ve picked a bunch of these in December on a sheltered wall in Sussex. Use them floating in a shallow bowl or simply mixed with rosemary in a tumbler.
