Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Glowing red flowers emerge from the pure white calyx and create brilliant contrast to the yellow and green variegated foliage. A rare find! A beautiful tropical vine.
This is a beautiful variegated selection of the classic climber. Flowers individual or in clusters appear over a background of cream, gold and deep green foliage. A white calyx forms first, then opens to reveal an intense red corolla which protrudes out of the opening. Clerodendrum thomsoniae variegatum is also right at home in a sunny window up north in the winter for those in climates too cold to grow it in the landscape. Tropical West Africa.
