This twining, climbing vine appreciates regular, moderate watering. While the flower is a mix of mostly yellow, red, and green, the 2 bracts are purple to magenta. The flower goes through a variety of transformations before the seeds are created. Seeds "explode" when ripe. In zones 10 and ll the vine is a larval host to butterflies in the Cracker Family. It can be grown as an indoor plant in colder climes. It will do well in a soil pH between medium acidic to normal to very slightly alkaline. Altogether this vine is a strong, enthusiastic grower and loves to make flowers year round given the right growing conditions...a true joy to have in the garden. A native of Central America.
