Flamevine is a vibrant, evergreen vine characterized by its fast-growing tendrils that enable it to climb surfaces up to considerable heights. It is best known for its stunning orange tubular flowers, roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, which bloom spectacularly in clusters of 15-20. These flowers dangle gracefully at the branch tips and are particularly notable in fall and winter. The fruit of flamevine is a lengthy, slender dry capsule, measuring about 1 foot (30 cm). The foliage provides a dense coverage, which can be pruned for a less dense appearance.
