Coral vine boasts a lush, twining vine capable of rapid growth, extending 8-10 feet (2.4-3 m) in a single season. Its foliage is a delicate pale green, displaying arrow-shaped leaves that provide a verdant canvas for clusters of vibrant coral-pink flowers, blooming prolifically from spring through fall. In some cases, blooms may exhibit red or white hues, depending on the variant. The plant is equipped with tendrils, enabling it to gracefully ascend arbors, fences, and other support structures with ease.
