Disappointed
Reviewed By: Daniel G (Milwaukee, WI)
The plant itself came in good shape and I had no problem getting it to grow. I am growing as a container plant with a trellis and it seems to like it. It grows fast and so trains very easily. I am disappointed because the variety I bought was advertised as having a blue and green flower. Unfortunately, the plant just flowered this week and the resulting flower was clearly purple.

watch carefully for the fruit
Reviewed By: Candace R (Asheville, NC)
I love this plant & currently have it in a pot. I first noticed it would bloom once only. At first, I just tore off the retired bloom. Then, I threw them back in the pot. A few days ago when I was waiting for 1 to be soft enough to tug off, I realized the fruit was starting to bloom. Now, it's about 3 days old & the size of a kumquat. Also, the skin is green. There's a new one sprouting in the pot now and another fixing to sprout the fruit. I don't see any another areas ready to bloom the flower.

My Friend grows this plant outside. It comes up in mid spring and this year prior to June, the flowers were beautiful. I noticed that the plant is rated for warmer weather than ours here in Northeast ohio. Yet I know the plant has survived the winter for the last 6 years. Is this unusual or normal?
