❗️ What vine to plant over a big fence.

• 🔹 Chonemorpha fragrans, or Frangipani vine, that we mentioned before, is a large woody tropical liana with clusters of large, perfume-fragrant flowers and lush green foliage. It is close related to perfumed Plumeria - Frangipani.
• 🔹 The fragrance is very fresh and pleasant, similar to Plumeria, fills the air around.
• 🔹 Leaves reaching up to 12 (!) inches - very tropical, majestic look!
• 🔹 Requires sturdy support - it can grow pretty big and heavy!
• 🔹 Takes both sun or shade. Full sun and regular fertilizer is essential for profuse blooming.
