The young leaves share that flavour and are eaten raw or cooked, especially in Vietnam. Clusters of small white bell-shaped flowers with a violet throat follow from July to September, on a plant reaching about 3m on a support or trailing over the edge of a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs protection from hard frost. No published hardiness rating exists, so the H3 and -5°C here come from our own experience: it has come through a mild winter outside, reshooting from the ground, and in France it has taken -5°C in a sheltered spot under a thick mulch. Top growth may die back, so mulch the roots and give it a warm, sheltered wall, or keep it in a pot that can come under cover for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind more leaves for the kitchen in our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/collections\/exotic-edibles\"\u003eexotic edibles\u003c\/a\u003e, and more twining plants among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/collections\/climbing-plants\"\u003eclimbing plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat you receive: a young plant in a 17cm \/ 2L pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GROW TROPICALS","offers":[{"title":"17cm \/ 2L","offer_id":58819709370751,"sku":"PAEDLANU17","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/9645\/0348\/files\/paederia-lanuginosa-plant-2.jpg?v=1793279204","url":"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/products\/paederia-lanuginosa","provider":"GrowTropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
