    This rarely seen, graceful climber from Mexico, bears lovely 3” rosy-pink tubular flowers summer thru fall. Perennial and ever-green here by the bay, it also sports attractive triangular grey-green leaves.

    Cool vine from Mexico, fast growing to about 8'…likes lots of light, sun in cooler climates, part shade in hot areas. Good fertile, moist soils are best, also excels in a pot! Plenty of large pink, tubular flowers summer thru fall make quite a statement. Will also cascade over a wall or from a basket. Good hummer food. (aka Asarina erubescens)
