Rangoon Creeper is a woody, fast growing vine that produces fragrant, clusters of white, pink, red and maroon small, tubular florets.
The single flowering type is the most common. and is widely cultivated throughout the tropics and sub-tropics.
Common names are Chinese Honeysuckle and Drunken Sailor Vine.
Fragrant flowers begin to appear in the late spring to early summer, and continue until the days shorten and nights grow cooler.
Buds open white, then change to a range of white, pink and maroon.
Best placement includes a support for the plant to climb. It can also be allowed to run and free flow down embankments and slopes to slow run off and control erosion.
The plant is relatively easy to grow, but requires careful tending while becoming established, as it does not easily recover from being either too wet or dry, or sudden shifts in temps.
This.plant enters a resting, semi dormant phase in the Winter months in all climates. and may not emerge from dormancy in climates where the growing season is short and nights are cool.
Rangoon Creeper is an extremely tropical vine sensitive to any shift in temperature. Please take note of the recommended zone range and growing season before purchasing this plant.
Rangoon Creeper enters dormancy near the end of the growing season and defoliates. This plant can be difficult to establish in any climate and may struggle to survive outside the recommended zone range.
