A sturdy tropical vine from West Africa, Climbing Oleander produces large showy clusters of soft pink flowers with burgundy throats. The flowers have a delightful rose fragrance and appear on the growing tips in late winter and spring. Provide a trellis or other support for this vine to grow on and prune after flowering is done. It thrives in full sun and rich, fertile soil.
