White Bleeding Heart Vine

Description

The White Bleeding Heart Vine produces large clusters of white, bell shaped, flower like calyces from which deep red almost butterfly-like flowers emerge. This vigorous twining tropical climber will flower throughout the warmer months of the year or practically year round where protected from frosts and freezes. The dark green foliage acts as the perfect foil for the long-lasting bright white calyces. The White Bleeding Heart Vine may freeze to the ground in the coldest portions of its range but established plants typically return in spring. An easy and rewarding container plant where not hardy.The White Bleeding Heart Vine prefers high light in shade but can tolerate cool sunlight like early in the morning or late in the evening. This vigorous tropical climber flowers on new growth so keep it healthy in a moderately moist, humus rich, fertile, well-drained soil.
