Manettia inflata (Firecracker Vine)

Sun to Part SunZone: 7b-10 100" tall Origin: Paraguay, Uruguay

This is one of our favorite southern vines, yet it is virtually unknown. It emerges in very late spring, and with the aid of tiny tendrils, sends its equally tiny leaves climbing skyward on anyone or anything nearby. In late summer, the vines burst forth with tiny 1", red-orange blooms (summer until fall) that look like miniature firecrackers (red with a yellow tip). Firecracker vine grows just fast enough to be garden worthy, but not fast enough to be a pest...simply exquisite! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
