They look just like cucumbers but smell like chocolate. The chocolate vine 'Quinata' first surprises us with lovely sweet purple flowers. Followed by indigo fruit. Its fruits smell like chocolate. That's why the climbing plant is known as chocolate vine. An extraordinary climbing plant for your garden. Butterflies and insects also love it! The plant blossoms in the spring.
The perennial plant needs the support of a rack or fence. The plant does not require pruning. Just cut away the dead leaves. Place the plant so that is in partial shade. We always keep the soil slightly moist. Water it more during dry periods.
