I'm a classic summer climber. Put me next to something I can twine up, and I'll reward you with masses of beautiful flowers in late summer. If you give my twines a light trim I'll produce even more flowers. I'm originally from and the tropical regions of Africa and Asia and I am a wonderful, tender, tropical climbing plant. I twine my way upwards, so I will need something like trellis or a post to wind up. I'll reach up to 8 tall and will reward you with masses of gorgeous flame-like flowers. I prefer sun, and I won't flower as well if you put me in a cool shady spot. Treat me lilke a tender annual plant, and I'm happier in large pots than in the border.
Gloriosa rothschildiana
I'm a true tropical, and I will thrive in a warm and sunny spot. I like being in a large pot so you can position me in the perfect sunny spot and give me plenty to drink. I'm a twining climber, so I need a frame or another plant to climb up.
