If you are looking for something to add some color to your yard but don’t want something that needs constant attention, cobaea might be just what you need. This plant grows quickly and can reach heights up to 30 feet (9 meters), depending on how much sunlight it receives and how much water it gets from rain or irrigation systems.

Cobaea scandens is both a climbing vine and a trailing vine, and can grow up to 30 feet tall as well as sprawling out horizontally across the ground.

This makes it an excellent choice for covering fences or walls that need some extra coverage. The flowers are also beautiful when they bloom in springtime (March to May), with most varieties producing pink flowers but some producing white ones instead.

The flowers are large, and bloom continuously all summer long on new growth.

If you want to encourage more blooms, prune off the old stems as soon as they have finished flowering.

The most common use for this lovely climber is as an annual vine in containers or hanging baskets–it will grow quite happily in either setting! However, if you have enough space available in your garden or yard and are looking for something that will provide interest throughout the growing season (and even into fall), then you may want to consider planting it directly into the ground as well where it will grow upwards of 20 feet tall by late summer before producing its beautiful white flowers.*

There are many different cultivars of Cobaea scandens; some have variegated leaves while others have white or pink flowers instead of yellow ones.

Each variety has its own unique features. For example, ‘David’ has very dark purple blooms and a compact habit, whereas ‘Lightning Strike’ is taller with more open branches and light pink flowers that bloom from July through September.

Cobaea is easy to grow from seed, but if you want to speed up the process by starting with plants instead of seeds, look for those sold as “grafted”–they’ll be grafted onto an established rootstock so they’ll grow faster than ungrafted plants (which can take up to five years before flowering).

Conclusion

Cobaea scandens is a great choice for anyone who wants to add some color and variety to their garden. It’s easy to grow and maintain, so even inexperienced gardeners can enjoy this beautiful flower.
