Last September a vine spontaneously sprouted and bloomed with the most gorgeous little red.flowers. I’ve finally found it listed on this page. I have no idea how it could’ve found it’s way to this pot. I’m hoping it survived the winter. I have a picture if someone can tell me how to upload it. Thanks!

Soil-borne nematodes on sandy soils are the only serious potential problem.

They are spectacular now but am curious re: how long they will bloom.. Have had no luck locating information on the net or with local neighbors. Any info regarding their care, fertilizing,pruning, etc. will be most welcome. As glorious as they are I'm surprized they aren't everywhere. The nurseries here are not helpful with info. They simply buy off trucks from Cuernavaca.

Branches should be pruned back to the ground rather than cut off midway. This shrub will grow to 30 ft. if not pruned.
It is much loved by Hummingbirds and butterflies.
