I am a robust, heat-resistant climbing plant with long and sometimes continuous blooms in white, pinks and reds. My most endearing feature is my prolific large trumpet shaped blooms.
Despite my resistance to heat my foliage is lush and green creating a cooling effect.
I am well adapted to growing in a container needing only a trellis or totem to reach my full potential.
I do best with regular moisture and fertiliser.
I can be pruned to shape as required at any time of year.
