Standard Blue Potato Vines provide masses of brilliant blue flowering
colour for 8 months of the year
Standard Blue Potato Vines are wonderful
because they provide masses of brilliant blue flowering colour for 8 months of the year.
The most popular flowering standard of all is the Standard Rose this is because Standard
Roses provide flowering colour from mid Spring until late Autumn. But not everybody wants
Standard Roses and most other standards such as Azaleas or
Gardenias have short flowering seasons.
The Standard
Blue Potato Vine loves a hot, sunny, well drained position in a pot or garden bed, it
needs plenty of water and yes like any potato plenty of fertiliser.
As the Blue Potato Vine flowers on new wood it should be
pruned hard in late August and just very lightly pruned throughout the rest of the season
cutting off only the longest growths, if you cut too hard in the season youll loose
your flowering.
Standard Blue Potato Vines are not troubled by disease or insect attack
Standard Blue Potato Vines are not troubled by disease or insect attack so apart from
feeding and watering and a little trimming they are hardy and easy to maintain especially when compared to a standard rose.
Standard Blue Potato Vines can be planted to form an
avenue of flowering standard topiary or used as a centerpiece in a small garden or
courtyard. Their brilliant blue lends a Tuscan flavor and goes well with bright pink roses
and lavender to create a colourful summer garden.
The Standard Blue Potato Vines are available 4-5ft tall for $39.50 or
purchase a 5 pot for $5.25 and run it up a stake and create you own blue flowering
topiary in just one growing season.
