Tropical Vine Live Plant - Bright Orange Blooms Attract Butterflies

The Florida Flame Vine, also known as the Golden Trumpet or Hanging Fire, is a captivating and fast-growing vine. Botanically classified as Pyrostegia venusta or ignea, this vibrant plant can reach a mature size of 25 to 30 feet in runners. Its standout feature is the striking orange bloom form, which takes the shape of tubular flowers. Regrettably, the Florida Flame Vine lacks any fragrance.

Thriving in USDA Zones 8B, 9, 10, and 11, this versatile vine adapts to a wide range of soil types and pH levels. While it is drought-tolerant once well-established, it requires moderate watering. The Florida Flame Vine is an excellent choice for providing quick and prolific cover, making it ideal for fences, trellises, and even as a house plant. However, it is not recommended for areas where invasive growth could become problematic.

Originating from the USA, the Florida Flame Vine is certified in California. While Proposition 65 labeling may be appropriate for incidental exposures, no special packaging is required. Customers should check for any local shipping restrictions before ordering.

Arriving healthy and guaranteed, this starter-size plant features a 4-inch diameter root zone and stands between 4 to 8 inches tall, without any blooms or buds. No extended warranty is provided, but the Florida Flame Vine is sure to impress with its showy, traffic-stopping display of color once it matures.

The key to successfully growing the Florida Flame Vine is regular pruning and maintenance during the summer months, ensuring it does not escape the intended planting area. This tropical beauty is particularly well-suited as a focal point, accentuating features like pergolas, arbors, entry arches, fences, and trellises. Its vibrant orange trumpets will attract hummingbirds and butterflies, adding to the overall visual appeal.

While the Florida Flame Vine is an easy-to-grow option, it does require some care and attention to prevent it from becoming invasive in tropical climates. With the right growing conditions and responsible management, this stunning vine will provide years of enjoyment and eye-catching floral displays.
