This deciduous vine grows vigorously to 30' x 30'. Leaves are dark green. In the summer, clusters of 3-4" tubular orange-red flowers appear. The vine clings to structures with small rootlets and can cling to nearly any surface. It can become rampant and top-heavy, and benefets from occasional severe pruning. Can form a freestanding shrub.

Water Saving Tip:
As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.
Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
