Distictis ‘Rivers’ is a vigorous, evergreen vine featuring leathery, glossy light-to-mid green leaves, and 5-inch trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom in shades of dark purple-mauve with yellow throats and fade to lighter lavender as they age. It has a twining and spreading habit allowing it to climb unaided. Uses include vertical screening, arbors, pergolas, trellises, wall facades. Excellent in both seacoast and urban environments. It thrives in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade; may be necessary in hot inland locations. Needs bright sun for peak flowering. Regular water is needed for establishment and summer growth, but moderately drought-tolerant once established. It is adaptable to various soil types (sand, clay) but prefers well-draining soil. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Cold hardy to 20°F.
