Queen of Sheba Podranea Vine Live Tropical Plant Fragrant Pink Trumpet Bloom Starter Sz 4

Podranea brycei, or Queen of Sheba Vine is a large, quick-growing, sprawling, vine-like, tropical flowering scrambler shrub native to South Africa. It typically blooms twice a year, in early summer and fall, producing large clusters of showy, fragrant lavender-pink, yellow-throated, bell-shaped flowers followed by long brown seed pods. It's also commonly known as Port St. Johns or Zimbabwe Creeper.

This plant is a fast, aggressive grower that establishes quickly, making it an excellent choice for rapid cover on a fence or other structure. However, be sure to allow ample space, as it can quickly fill an area 20 feet or more within a season or two. Aside from watering and pruning to control size and keep it contained within the desired growing area, Pink Trumpet Vine requires little care.

Care: When mature, plant in fertile, well-draining soil or potting media in a full sun to lightly shaded area. Water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Overly saturated plants will become spotted, weak, thin, and fail to flower as expected. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer with the initial planting and annually in spring thereafter. Prune after flowering to control size, shape, and remove seed pods.

It's not well-suited for growing indoors due to its high light needs and rapid growth. However, it can be grown indefinitely in large outdoor garden pots.

Condition: One (1) Well rooted, starter size plant w/ 4 inch diameter root zone. Plant will be a minimum of about 6 to 8 inches tall and unlikely to have bloom or bud at the time of shipping. May be shipped bare, wrapped root ball w/o pot.
