QUISQUALIS
INDICA 'SINGLE'
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.
