Fast-growing evergreen vine with stems to 40’ long with age. This vigorous, highly-popular species features year-round, glossy, deep-green foliage and is accented with eye-catching clusters of trumpet-shaped, yellow-throated, scarlet-red flowers that appear in abundance throughout the warmer months of the year. Well-suited for arbors, trellises or fences, this grateful species requires little water once established, though a more robust-growing plant is achieved with moderate watering. Tolerates heat and a variety of soil types (provided they’re fast-draining) and thrives in a full sun to partial shade exposure.
