NEW GUINEA Forest Bell Creeper Trumpet Vine Flowering Tropical Vine Plant Unusual Big Pink Yellow Flowers Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald TM

Tecomanche dendrophila or New Guinea Trumpet Vine is a very pretty and somewhat unusual tropical flowering woody vine. It is also called Forest Bell Creeper. This is a sturdy, fast growing species that has the unique ability to form blooms along the old woody stems, which is a nice feature as it means size can be controlled without sacrificing bud wood.

The curving, woody stems darken to a deep gray to almost black as they age. The flowers are very large, showy large bells in bright rose pink tipped in creamy yellow to creamy white. The contrast of the pink flowers against the black stems is most striking.

This plant requires some time to become well established before reaching its full blooming potential. Peak blooming times are in the Spring and Fall. Very mature plants will often throw scattered flowers throughout the warm season.

It is fast growing and reasonably carefree vine, and is a great choice when quick cover is wanted for a fence, pergola or other structure.
