My bright red trumpet shaped blooms with yellow throats pop against my glossy green foliage.Long flowering I bloom in spring through summer to autumn.
I am a great way to create a tropical atmosphere wherever I am grown.
Hardy I easily tolerate heat and coastal conditions.
I perform at my best in full sun to light shade.
I benefit from organically enriched, free-draining soil or quality potting mix.
I am known for my vigorous growth and climbing habit. Given appropriate support I will climb to any shape. Grown free standing I will develop into a small shrub but I can also cascade and trail, depending on the planting arrangement. I am perfect for climbing lattice, trailing in the garden or cascading from hanging baskets.
Tolerant of brief dry conditions I will perform at my best with regular moisture. I benefit from a light trim after flowering to promote flowering in the next season.
