Bleeding Heart Vine surprised everyone this year!

Bleeding Heart Vine - Clerodendrum thomsoniae

💞 Bleeding Heart Vine surprised everyone this year!



❣️ 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!

Curcuma - the tropical tulip with a secret spice twist

Curcuma flowers

🌷 Curcuma - the tropical tulip with a secret spice twist



🌷Curcuma, also known as Siam Tulip or Turmeric, is a plant with personality! It looks like it came straight from a fairy tale with bright, showy blooms in pink, purple, white, yellow, and even orange - that rise above lush green foliage like floral fireworks.

🌷Despite its exotic looks, it’s super easy to grow. Keep the soil moist, give it filtered light, and this beauty will reward you with long-lasting blooms. This is an excellent cut flower that lasts up to 2 weeks in a vase!

🌷And here's the kicker: beneath the soil, it hides a spicy secret - its rhizomes are the source of Turmeric, the golden powder used in curry and traditional medicine. So yes, your flower garden can also be a spice rack!

🌷Curcuma thrives in warm zones but grows happily in pots too - just bring it inside when things get chilly. With its striking looks and health-boosting roots, Curcuma is your new garden showstopper and wellness booster all in one!
