One
of the finest flowering vines for San Antonio and Austin. This tropical
species can be seen in many old gardens, attesting to its hardiness.
In fact, my specimen along the southeast side of the house has not frozen
back in three years. Blooms from April until the first hard freeze
and its petals darken from white to red as the flowers age. Grows
in full sun to half-day sun. It requires a tree or trellis to climb.
Looks best if given a deep watering every two weeks during a dry summer.
(Feed with 5 to 7 Agriform
21-gram,
2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.) |
