Vines - Pink trumpet vine

The Pink Trumpet Vine is a large, sprawling, woody vine that clambers without tendrils up through trees fences from which the stems arch gracefully outward but without support is good as a groundcover. The evergreen pinnate glossy green leaves have 7 to 9 leaflets with pointed tips. In our climate the flowers begin to appear in clusters at the branch tips in mid to late summer and are present until first frost. The lightly fragrant pale pink bell-shaped flowers have maroon stripes from the petal base leading down into a cream and followed by long narrow beanlike fruit.

Scientific name:  Podranea ricasolina
