- ❣️ Bleeding Heart Vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) is not just a winter bloomer! Despite the common belief that it blooms only in winter, this beauty actually flowers year-round in warm climates, putting on a continuous display of red and white "hearts". It bloomed in winter, then in spring, and now - it's a summertime - it is still full of flowers!
- ❣️ The "bleeding heart" look comes from the striking contrast between the white calyx and the deep red flower inside - like a heart bursting with color.
- ❣️ It's a vigorous vine, perfect for trellises, arbors, or containers. It can even be trained as a shrub!
- ❣️ Grows best in bright filtered light or partial sun, and appreciates regular watering - but it's not fussy.
- ❣️ Pollinator magnet! The blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies, adding motion and life to your garden.
- ❣️ Tough and tropical - i'’s hardy, low maintenance, and stays evergreen in frost-free areas.
- ❣️ It's not shy, not seasonal, and definitely not boring!
