QUISQUALIS
INDICA 'DOUBLE'
Rangoon Creeper
Quisqualis indica is just one of the
tropical, flowering vines that we offer. It is suitable
to many gardeners all over the country
because of its tolerance to be trimmed to any size.
It can also be grown in pots. As the weather warms up,
the display
of flowers will begin to cover the lush foliage. Rangoon
Creeper has a unique bloom. One plant will carry 3 different
colors
of flowers. Flowers starts white and with age turn pink
and then red. If that wasn't enough to please most gardeners,
the
flowers have a slight fragrance too. We carry 2 varieties.
One with a single flower and another with a double.
The single
form is much easier to propagate, making it more common
and readily available. Both are equally beautiful.

The
plant goes semi dormant during the winter and resprouts again when it warms
up.
Trimming is advisable just before it starts sprouting in late winter.
