Mina

Mina - Fast-growing climbers from Mexico, and, while perennials in their own country, mostly grown as tender annuals with us. M. lobata, the best-known kind, is used for summer gardening, its three-lobed leaves of deep green being handsome upon arches or trellises. Sprays of tubular flowers spring upon the upper leaf-axils, deep crimson in bud fading to pale yellow as they open, giving a parti-colored effect. It is easily grown, flowers freely until frost, and continues until winter if taken under glass. M. cordata comes very near the older kind, save that its leaves are rounded and tapering like those of a Convolvulus, and the flowers have traces of a magenta-purple. Both kinds are raised from seeds sown in heat early in the year, and the tips of old plants rooted under glass come into flower earlier than seedlings.
