Allamanda williamsii - Stansils Double Gold

💰 How to double your Gold

  • 💛 Allamanda williamsii - Stansils Double Gold has unusual double flowers! This vining shrub can be very compact unlike common Allamanda vines (that can become quite massive). You can trim it into a small bush, or let it grow over a fence or trellis.
  • 💛 Stansils Double Gold is very attractive ever-blooming vine with bright yellow double trumpet-like flowers 3"wide, slightly fragrant, blooming year-round.
  • 💛 Grows well in most soils. Keep fairly dry during winter and prune in spring before growth begins.

Quisqualis vine - Rangoon Creeper

😍 How to cover an ugly spot with a fragrance and and beauty, stop and smell the roses
  • 🌹 Our Quisqualis vine - Rangoon Creeper - has grown over a roof of our water treatment system (which wasn't the prettiest view!). Now every time we pass by we have to "stop and smell the roses". It is so beautiful, and it does smell like roses!
  • 🌹 It's scent is unforgettable, fruity and intoxicating... The flowers are born in clusters and each flower has many variations of color, depending on how old the flower is.
