Description
This large, evergreen tropical vine has white variegation on the leaves making it a perfect plant for foliage lovers. When the leaves first start to appear they are purple, making this an even prettier tropical plant. This vine can spread up to 40 feet if you let it grow, but with lots of pruning it can be kept as a shrub in containers. This plant will produce large, wide rounded, golden, trumpet-shaped flowers. The flowers are fragrant with a coconut, vanilla aroma especially in the evening and early morning. This vine is also known as Cup of Gold Vine. They do great in full sun and need to be watered regularly. They can tolerate direct salt spray, and seaside conditions.
