Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Brilliant red flower clusters abound on this easy, vigorous vine. The bracts remain and fade to a lovely purple color, too. Mature size is just 8-12ft!
One of our favorite holiday plants that consistently brings stunning color from December through June. The flowers are a brilliant red and appear in dense clusters which mottle the broad dark leaves. Once in bloom, it maintains its size producing more flowers than foliage. The short day length of winter combined with a sunny exposure makes this African native a non-stop show of flowers during the darkest days of the year. Decorative gift basket not included.
5-6" clusters of firey red flowers are born in spring and summer on this desirable tropical vine or scandent shrub. An excellent choice for tropical gardens, indoors, or anywhere a small manageable vine is needed. One of the most beautiful of all vining Clerodendrums. Item# 9346.
