I bought this plant today, it has purple flowers and it climbs.
I forget to ask the seller about its name and I regret it! Any recommendation on how to care for this plant? Should I keep it in a shady or sunny spot?

2Looks like a legume. Any chance you can get pick of the flowers?– J. MusserJan 6, 2015 at 17:15

Unfortunately it doesn't have any flowers currently :(. It's for decoration only it doesn't have fruit– sunerogoerJan 6, 2015 at 17:39

Could you tell us where you are in the world, and if it was sold to you as a houseplant or for outdoors? Thanks!– Niall C. ♦Jan 6, 2015 at 18:38

I'm living in Bahrain and it's sold for outdoors– sunerogoerJan 6, 2015 at 18:39

1@Bamboo Akebia quinata appears to have leaves that meet together at one point like an umbrella tree's leaves do. This plant here does not.– BrōtsyorfuzthrāxJan 9, 2015 at 5:46

On the surface of it looks like gokarna (a local Indian name for Clitoria ternatea)

I added this link because searching for "gokarna flower" takes me to the Wikipedia page for Clitorea ternatea. If that's not correct, please update your post with the correct link. Don't forget to add an explanation of why your identification is correct. Thanks!– Niall C. ♦Jun 15, 2015 at 14:32
it is Akebia quinata...commonly known as five leaf akebia.

1Looks correct but can you add to this answer to the information is not just in the link?– kevinskio ♦Jan 8, 2015 at 21:41
