    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A true everbloomer, the brilliant lipstick-red flowers appear in profusion on the tips of its vining stems. In our greenhouses this rugged grower is always in bloom and once each brilliant flower has passed, a rosy red calyx stays on the plant for many months. Give full to partial sun and moderate fertilizer and get ready to sit back and watch the show. This easy-to-grow vine can be trained up a small trellis, and hummingbirds find this plant very appealing.

    Similar to the more popular White Bleeding Heart vine but red calyces with mauve blooms in 5" clusters. An easy tropical or perennial vine. Maybe somewhat more cold tolerant than the White Bleeding heart vine.
