SKU
01345
Strong vining habit for a quick, carefree cover. Long, arching branches hold sprays of delicate rose pink flower-like bracts, providing a beautiful show nearly year-round in frost-free regions, on arbors, trellises, and spilling over fences. Use as a summer annual in colder climates, as an attractive accent in patio containers and hanging baskets.

| Lore | The intense color of these plants, often mistaken for the flowers is actually the bracts which draw pollinators to smaller more insignificant white tubular flowers nestled within. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Vigorous stems quickly climb 20 to 30 ft. with support. |
| Bloom Time | Summer; nearly year-round in frost-free regions. |
| Design Ideas | This bougie is both reliable and vigorous, growing tall enough to shroud arbors in shade-giving foliage and flowers. Train it onto walls and fences, or onto unsightly sheds. Spiral the stems up posts and columns, and through wrought iron panels or fences. Super contrast against red tile roofs. A great choice for dry gardens in very hot landscapes |
