Mature plant cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Native to tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, Combretum constrictum, or Thailand Powderpuff, is a large shrub or vine creeper up to 5 to 10 feet tall, depending on its pruning level and support. It is grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 9 to 11, but mature plants may be cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time with some protection.

Thailand Powderpuff needs full sun or part shade and regular water, as it is native to rainforest habitats. Its reddish-crimson or vinous-color flowers are clustered, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and other nectar seekers.

It has some ethnomedical uses in Southeast Asia, and is considered a powerful energy plant, believed to dispell negative energy, promote abundance and increase joy.

When gardening in colder climates, Thailand Powderpuff is quite suitable to pot-growing, as it can be easy managed with pruning and moved indoors during the chilliest nights. For indoor growing it requires bright indirect light, sufficient water and warm temperatures. Add a layer of mulch around the roots to prevent its root-system from cooling down with the night temperatures and losing vigor.

Overall an easy to grow and maintain plant with very showy and beautiful flowers, it will add an exotic touch to any garden with its vining foliage.

Combretum erythrophyllum is a large shrub 5-10 ft tall, growing in low-lying forests. It prefers full sun, but is tolerant of partial shade, and needs regular water to bloom. This plant produces a multitude of bright yellow-orange flowers, which are highly attractive and often used in dried flower arrangements.

This hardy shrub can be grown in USDA Zone 9-11, but might grow in hot regions with cold nights. For those in colder regions, it is best to grow this shrub in a pot, so you can more easily move it indoors when temperatures drop. To have success in colder climates, be sure the shrub is planted in a well-drained potting mix and is protected from gusts of wind and cold nights with coverings or frost cloths. Keep the soil moist, not wet, and water regularly, particularly in dry or warm regions.

Combretum erythrophyllum is a beautiful and colorful shrub that makes a great addition to any garden. The flowers are highly fragrant and attract both birds and pollinators, and the fruits that follow make great snacks for kids. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this bush makes a wonderful ethnomedical plant and is used traditionally to treat digestive and menstrual disorders.

Orange Flame Vine, Chameleon Vine
Family: Combretaceae
Origin: South America
USDA Plant Hardiness MapLarge shrub 5-10 ft tallVine or creeper plantFull sunRegular waterYellow, orange flowersRed, crimson, vinous flowersPlant attracts butterflies, hummingbirds

The Orange Flame Vine, Combretum fruticosum, is a large shrub or vine native to South America. It can grow up to 20 feet tall, and has a vigorous twining habit. It requires full sun for optimal growth and should be regularly watered. This vine is known for its profusion of showy red, crimson and vinous flowers, which are 4-6 inches long and slightly curved. During the spring and summer, these blooms are frequented by butterflies and hummingbirds.

This tropical vine is also known for its unique yellow and orange flowers, which appear in the late summer and autumn months. It is a fairly easy plant to care for, making it an ideal choice for beginner gardeners. In colder regions, this plant can be grown in a pot and should be brought indoors during the winter. The mature plant is cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time. It is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11.

For the best results, it is important to regularly fertilize and prune this plant. As it flowers on new growth, pruning should be done after the flowering period. During the summer months, this plant should be watered every week. In the winter months, give it less water as its growth slows considerably. Additionally, be sure to plant it in soil that is rich in organic matter and well-drained to promote healthy growth.
