Why we love this plant!

Perfectly suited to South East Queensland’s warm climate, this vigorous climber produces trumpet-shaped pink flowers over an extended season, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Its twining growth habit makes it ideal for covering fences, trellises, or arbors, bringing vertical interest to gardens. Thriving in sunny, well-drained locations, it adds a tropical feel to outdoor spaces while requiring minimal maintenance. It’s a great choice for creating lush, flowering screens in urban and coastal gardens.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

  • Regular watering is crucial, especially in warm, dry periods, to keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

  • A water-soluble fertiliser in spring and summer may support flowering.

Pruning preferences:

  • Prune prior to spring to remove damaged or dead growth and shape the plant.

Good to Know:

  • Prefers warm, sheltered positions with protection from strong winds.
  • Not frost tolerant—may need protection in colder inland South East Queensland areas.
