The Garlic Vine Plant (Mansoa alliacea), also known as Ajo Sacha or Creeping Garlic Vine, is one of the most rewarding climbers for home gardens. Native to South America, it produces clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom purple, fade to lavender, and finally turn white—giving a delightful color-changing display similar to Yesterday Today Tomorrow plants.
A unique feature of Garlic Vine is its garlic-like aroma when leaves are crushed, which helps keep pests away naturally. This makes it not just ornamental but also a practical addition to your garden.
Perfect for covering fences, pergolas, balconies, and garden arches, the Garlic Vine grows quickly and provides a lush green backdrop with bursts of colorful blooms throughout the year.
