Potato vine is an attractive, shrubby climber which gives an almost perpetual display of showy blue-white blossoms. Good ornamental cover for fences or walls, or grow across lattice for shade. Semi-evergreen. This great vine falls into the nightshade family which it shares with potatoes, hence its common name. This species is native to South American jungles of Brazil. The species name suggests its visual similarity to jasmine vines, conferred by Joseph Paxton of England, gardener to the Duke of Devonshire. Hardy to USDA zone 9-11.
