Very pretty! What is the height and spread of this vine and do you know it's growing zones?

wishiwere, we grow this in a pot and this year it was planted late so it didn't grow to well like last year. They usually grow up the arbor but this year the space was take up with the snail vines. I really need to find a different spot for these. The area an annual vine here and are geared for zone 24 or higher as perennials but zones 3-23 as annuals. Native to mexico and we have seen them grow over 8 feet in one summer. We have grown the purples more than the green ones because of the colors. They are a fun plant!!
