Description

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:

In the fall, unless it is very hot outside, you can reduce your total watering time by 1/2.

Do not reduce run times, reduce the number of watering days.
