This tropical vine is annual. It is easy to grow in moderate humidity and well-drained soil under full sun. It can tolerate dry conditions well but grows best in continuously moist soil. This plant is native to northern South America, north of Mexico, but has been widely distributed around the world since Europeans began to explore the Americas, first becoming popular as a medicinal plant and later as a  ornamental plant.
