Coral Vine Antigonon leptopus
Coral Vine Antigonon leptopus, also known as Mexican creeper, queen’s wreath, or chain of love, is a fast-growing, flowering vine native to Mexico. It’s popular for its vigorous growth and stunning clusters of pink, white, or coral flowers.
Key Features of Coral Vine:
• Flowers: The flowers are small, often pink but can also be white or coral, and grow in clusters. They bloom from late spring through fall and attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
• Leaves: The leaves are heart-shaped, bright green, and have a slightly rough texture.
• Growth: Coral vine is a vigorous climber, capable of growing up to 30-40 feet in a single season if conditions are right. It can be trained to cover trellises, fences, and arbors.
• Hardiness: It thrives in USDA zones 9-11. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
• Care: Coral vine is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Regular watering during dry periods and occasional pruning to control its size and shape are beneficial.
