    Didn't recognise it at first but just googled and I see its what we used to call Asarina.

    I've not grown it for a few years but used to buy seed and grow it that way.

    Probably a bit late for seed now but if you did sow some you would have good sized plants to flower next year if you overwinter them.

    I always found it a bit of a weak grower and a slow starter.
    Not the kind of thing thats likely to get rampant.

    Very similar to Rhodochiton, something to be pampered a bit.

    Or a good twiner thats a bit different is mina lobata.
