Description

Pyrostegia venusta or the Flame Vine is an evergreen climber that bears the most wonderful showers of orange, tubular flowers in winter/spring. It has attractive, lush green leaves which are paired along the sinewy, thin branches.
This vigorous plant has strong twiners which will cling to almost anything, including bare brick walls – though a strong trellis or fence is best as when it is full of bloom it will be quite heavy. It will flower at its best in a sheltered sunny position and be an absolute delight in winter when many other flowers are dormant.
