Description

3-4" tubular orange-red flowers highlight this vigorously growing deciduous vine. In the summer, these flowers are borne in clustered form. The vine clings to strutures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefets from occasional severe pruning.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
