Antigonon leptopus
A fast growing vine with heart shaped leaves with crinkly edges (sometimes triangular) that attracts bees, birds and wildlife, and that tolerates poor soil. Bears panicles of pink to white flowers from Spring.
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn
Coral vine bears panicles of white, pink or red flowers from Summer to Autumn
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Plant in free-draining soil in a sunny and sheltered position after all risk of frost has passed. Or grow in a container of free-draining compost to grow indoors, or in a conservatory.
Propagating by seed
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Sow seed in Spring in a temperature of 13-16 deg.C. Sow thinly on free-draining compost and cover lightly with sieved compost. Keep compost damp, but not wet.
Propagating by cuttings
From Early Autumn TO Mid Spring
Take semi- ripe cuttings from this season's growth in Autumn. Cut neatly, just below a leaf node, a 5" approx. piece of a healthy shoot that has soft growth at the tip. pinch out the growing tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
