Re: Cobaea

I grew it once about 30 years ago, Andrea.  As I recall, it went up
something and then tried to take over the clothes line but never
bloomed for me.  I seem to remember learning that it needed a really
long growing season to bloom - probably would for you in SC.  It's
not hardy up here, so that one time was the last time...
