RE: Wonga Wonga Vine

in #pandorea6 years ago

Pandorea pandorana is often known as the "Wonga wonga vine". It hails from Australia where it forms a large vigorous, evergreen twiner. When growing in the wild it flowers early in the year, typically April and May.


Here in the UK it can flower through until August and September, depending upon its position. It can form an excellent conservatory subject as it generally thrives in pots. The tubular flowers appear in multiple bunches and they are cream white, with pinky red markings in the throat. They also have a light scent.

Evergreen, woody climber.
Can be moved outdoors during summer in a sheltered situation.
Can cope with full sun to partial shade.
Likes regular and reliable watering until established.
Drought-tolerant once established.
Ultimate height: up to 5m.
Sold in a 19/20cm pot.
