Gold Jade Vine (Mucuna sloanei)

Pendulous clusters of yellow blooms brighten up the winter days when this South American vine reveals its floral beauty. A vigorous and large growing member of the bean family, it needs room to grow, like a sunroom, hobby greenhouse, or a large sunny room. Remember to prune in late August before it begins to initiate flower buds in response to the shortening day length of fall. Gold Jade Vine is easier to grow in containers than other mucunas as its root system is resistant to diseases.
