This is a small, well-behaved vine that will work well on trellises. We've had it growing here at the nursery in a large pot for several years now, and it looks great year after year. Leatherflower twines its leaf petioles around objects to grab hold and would be well-suited for a chain-link fence. It blooms off and on from late spring to early fall. The seed heads are also attractive: wispy, fuzzy tails sticking out from where the seed heads are clustered together in a globe.
