Holboellia coriacea is a vigorous, evergreen climber with twining stems which will give your garden year-round interest. Attractive foliage is tinged purple-bronze when young, maturing to a richer, dark green. In May, unusual, dangling flowers hang in tightly packed clusters adding intriguing interest. Unusually, the blooms appear in two different colours on the same plant, depending on whether they are male (which are usually green-white), or female (usually red-purple). Both release a delicate fragrance. Later in autumn Holboellia coriacea produces pink-purple, elongated, sausage-shaped fruits, hence the common name, Sausage Vine. The fruit can apparently be eaten when cooked, but with an unpleasant, bitter taste - though not harmful, we have never met anyone who has enjoyed the taste. Despite its unappetising nature, this sensational 'Sausage Vine' is sure to become a wonderful talking point.Holboellia coriacea prefers to be grown in well-drained soil, in a sunny spot, where it can climb a wall, reaching a height and spread of 2-3m. A hardy perennial which requires no frost protection in most of the UK.
