BEAUMONTIA GRANDIFLORA
Herald's Trumpet

Pictures cannot even begin to describe the sight of a mature Beaumontia in full bloom.
A big plant can be covered with many large flowers. Beaumontia does need mature to bloom,
it may take a couple of years before you see the flowers. To produce the best display, this
heavy climber with large leaves will need a strong structure. Without support the plant will form
a large mound. It can be grown in pots but will not get very big or produce many flowers like
the ones grown in the ground. Beaumontia is a tropical vine. It can tolerate a light frost for
short periods but it is better to protect it if the temperature goes bellow freezing.
