Ipomea Horsfalliae or Cardinal Creeper is  a beautiful fast growing, evergreen climber with dark green glossy leaves. suited to a warm climate.

It has clusters of round buds that open to stunning trumpet shaped crimson flowers during summer and Autumn.

Great for covering fences, pergolas, water tanks or arbours.

Ipomea will grow to 3m and prefers a warm climate with a  full sun position, in rich ,well drained soil.

Requires regular watering in hot conditions , but prefers to dry out between watering during the winter. Do not overwater in Winter, Ipomea dont like wet feet as they have a tuberous root system and will drop leaves if this occurs. They will also tend to lose some leaves if we have a very cold Winter. Hence are suited to a sub-tropical to tropical climate.

We grow Ipomea  here onsite, so it is available most of the year.
