    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A vining member of the milkweed family with odd, parachute shaped chartreuse flowers that seem to be inside out. Flowers are large and beautiful, doesn't seem to have any odor, at least none I've detected. Great for hanging baskets, will hang down and make a lovely cascade of flowers on the vine. Easy to grow, looks best protected from full sun and watered regularly in the hot months.

    This succulent vine from South Africa entertains gardeners of all ages with its botanical structure. Parachute Flower is true to its name bearing unusual green parachute-like flowers held in mid-air. Train this thick-stemmed climber on a stake or trellis or plant in a hanging basket and enjoy the magical wonder of these flowers as they bloom from summer to fall.

    1-1/2" high, green parachute-like flowers with purplish-red 'eyelashes' are born in spring on this twining climber. A nearly leafless succulent of the Milkweed Family - Asclepiadaceae. This is simply a daintier version of the Parachute Flower - Ceropegia sandersonii. Withhold water during Winter and water sparingly the remainder of the year. A definite 'Conversation Piece'!
