I want to grow cobea scanden in containers in my backyard. Does anyone know how big the pots need to be? I have grown 3 from seed and they are romping away.

Thanks. I'll pot it into a huge bucket and see what happens. And grow one at the allotment too, I blame Sarah Raven for this, encouraging me in Gardeners World.

Hi Poozie
I grew cobea three years ago and it climbed up and over my eight foot wall -it started a bit slow but when it eventually got going it just took off and kept going - loads of foliage and masses of lovely bells too - great plant if it likes the conditions.Rat

S Raven is doing a Delia/cranberries thing eh? Garden centre shelves will be stripped of cobea packets now! The power of advertising. I think they're a wierd colour.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

They are weird but i'm doing an exotic backyard this year, most of my plants are drought tolerant and purple and hot pink, with a few lime greens. The yard is south facing and gets seriously hot, my mini greenhouse on wednesday was 36 degrees inside. I get greenfly all year round.
