Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A wild and unusual floral display arrives from late spring to fall on this shrubby vine from cenral west Africa. Clusters of cream-colored flowers bedecked with long, curly streamers and a rust-tinted throat cover its shrubby vining habit. Pruning in early spring helps encourage a more restrained form. These unusual flowers remind us of the infinite possibilities found in nature.
