Cup & Saucer Vine (Cobaea Scandens White) - Commonly called cup and saucer vine, this white flower, vining plant is native to Mexico and tropical South America. It is a vigorous, rapid-growing, climbing vine that typically grows to 30 - 40 feet in its native habitat! When grown as an annual, it can grow 10 - 20 feet in a single season even covering a 25 foot chain link fence in a single season. The descriptive common name is in reference to its bell-shaped flowers (cups), each of which is subtended by a saucer-like green calyx. Flowers last about 4 days, emerging green but maturing to purple. Flowers have a musky fragrance. Blooms late summer into fall. Also commonly called cathedral bells. Only perennial in USDA Zones 9 - 11.
Fantastical, 3 1/2 inch flaring white bells sporting long sexy stamens create a massive bloom display that’ll be much admired by neighbors. Attractive, deep green, heart-shaped foliage. Give it room to grow, rich soil and stand back! Hummers will swarm! Cut back in Winter for bushiest appearance next year in warmer climates where it can survive as a perennial.
Common Questions
Do I need to use a structure for my cobaea plants to grow up?
Yes, you will find that the cup and saucer will quickly overtake nearby plants if you do not train it to grow up a structure or trellis.
Can I prune back my plant to control its size?
Yes, you can control the size of your plants by pinching off the stems when they reach the top of your support or your eye level, this will encourage branching and bud set.
Do I need to deadhead my plants?
No, there is no need for deadheading cobaea.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes, but make sure the container is large enough to accommodate your plant and support the weight of the vine. Also include a structure or trellis in your container.
