The New Guinea Creeper is a stunning, non-aggressive vine that will captivate with its vibrant blooms and lush foliage.

Spectacular flowers: In late winter to early spring, it produces large clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers, creating a striking contrast.

Non-invasive growth: This well-behaved climber can reach up to 40 feet but is easily maintained at shorter lengths, making it suitable for trellises, arbors, or even large containers.

Evergreen beauty: With its glossy, pinnate leaves, the New Guinea Creeper adds year-round interest to your garden, even when not in bloom.

Care tips

Light: Thrives in partial to full sun; however, it prefers some shade during the hottest part of the day.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, especially during the growing season.

Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 9-11; protect from frost and provide a warm, humid environment.

Support: Provide a sturdy structure for it to climb, such as a trellis or arbor, to showcase its cascading blooms.
