The Garlic Vine is a flowering vine native to Central and South America. It is known for its garlic-like scent, which becomes more prominent when the leaves or stems are crushed.

Here are some general characteristics of the Garlic Vine:

1. Appearance: The Garlic Vine has evergreen foliage with opposite, pinnate leaves consisting of several leaflets. The flowers are trumpet-shaped and vary in color, ranging from purple to lavender or white. The plant produces clusters of these fragrant flowers.

2. Growth habit: It is a fast-growing vine that can climb and cover structures such as walls or trellises. In its natural habitat, it can reach heights of up to 30 feet (9 meters).

3. Fragrance: As mentioned earlier, the crushed leaves or stems emit a strong garlic-like aroma, which gives the plant its common name.

4. Cultivation: Garlic Vine can be grown in tropical and subtropical regions, thriving in warm and humid climates. It prefers well-draining soil and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. Regular watering and occasional fertilization can promote healthy growth.
