Strongylodon macrobotrys – Blue/Turquoise Jade Vine (check back in summer)

This is a rare and unusual tropical flowering vine. This plant blooms with very exotic, turquoise color, dangling flowers that do not look real. This is a spectacular plant for collectors.

Description

I recommend for experienced gardeners only. Recommended only if you have a greenhouse or live in a very tropical climate.

Commonly known as jade vine, emerald vine or turquoise jade vine.
This is a rare vine that puts on a stunning display of unusual, dangling/cascading, turquoise, one foot long
flowers. The blue-green flowers are claw-like. Just spectacular and one of the most interesting flowers!

Since we grow our tropical plants outside, they may not have perfect leaves and may have “blemishes” just like they do in their natural habitat. The spots are not a disease and will not affect the plants health. The new growth should be clean if you grow your plants in a different climate although I recommend this vine for outdoors in tropical locations or if you have a greenhouse only.
