About
This herbaceous plant is known for its vigorous growth and often features attractive funnel-shaped flowers. Its sprawling or climbing habit allows it to cover ground quickly or ascend nearby structures, adding a lush green presence.
Where it works in Kilifi
Ideal for full sun locations in Kilifi, this plant thrives in well-drained soils. It serves excellently as a fast-growing ground cover, for bank stabilisation, or can be trained to climb walls and trellises where rapid coverage is desired.
Growing notes
Expect vigorous growth, with plants establishing quickly in the warm Kilifi climate. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant, though occasional watering during dry spells will promote best flowering; prune regularly to manage its spread.
