Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A beautiful climbing perennial with sprays of lacy pink flowers all summer and fall. It dies to the ground in winter, but faithfully returns from the ground each spring. An easy to grow and drought tolerant Heirloom plant that is highly treasured.
On a recent trip to west Texas we saw a Coral Vine that must have had 50 or more butterflies on one plant! Rose of Montana is considered invasive in some regions, please check with your local county extension office before planting.
