RE: Blaze into the Spring with the Orange Trumpet Vine

in #pyrostegia6 years ago (edited)

PYROSTEGIA VENUSTA (ORANGE TRUMPET VINE)

This evergreen climber bears the most wonderful showers of orange, tubular flowers in winter/spring. It has attractive, lush green leaves which are paired along the sinewy, thin branches.

This vigorous plant has strong twiners which will cling to almost anything, including bare brick walls - though a strong trellis or fence is best as when it is full of bloom it will be quite heavy. It will flower at its best in a sheltered sunny position and be an absolute delight in winter when many other flowers are dormant.

This is a hardy plant it will tolerate coastal conditions and once established frost, drought and even neglect.
