Flame Vine ( Orange Trumpet Vine )

Description

Flame Vine, also known as Orange Trumpet Vine or Pyrostegia venusta, is a stunning climbing plant known for its vibrant, bright orange, trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to South America, this vigorous vine blooms prolifically in the cooler months, typically from winter through early spring. The plant can grow rapidly, reaching up to 10-12 meters in height when supported by trellises, walls, or fences, making it an excellent choice for covering unsightly structures or creating a dramatic focal point in gardens.

The dense clusters of flame-colored flowers attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds, adding life to your garden. Flame Vine thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, though it can tolerate a range of soil types. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, requiring occasional pruning to manage its rapid growth. Due to its aggressive nature, regular trimming is essential to prevent it from becoming invasive.

With its fiery blooms and climbing habit, Flame Vine is perfect for adding a burst of color to garden trellises, pergolas, or walls.
