BLACK JADE Rare Tropical Purple Black Flowering Live Brazilian Fast Growing Arbor Vine Plant Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

Mucuna nigricas or Black Jade Vine is a very rare plant native to Asia. This vine's red and green cousins are rather common and have a similar growth pattern, but their blooms cannot compare to the alluring near-black flowers of this species.

Jade Vines are best known for their unique bloom shape, but also for their ability to become beautiful in many settings over short periods of time. These woody vines have been known to grow over 3 feet during the Summer months when they are actively expanding.

This vine climbs very quickly to produce heavy tendrils that are ideal for covering an arbor. When allowed to cover an arbor space, pendulous brilliant black butterfly attracting racemes will hang from the vine during bloom periods. It is important to ensure the climbing space is adequately supported to avoid collapse under heavy weight when planting this vine. Prune this vine after blooms have expired to keep it within the bounds of the desired growth area.
