Coral Vine Antigonon leptopus 20 Seeds

Antigonon leptopus, commonly known as the coral vine, is a vigorous, fast-growing perennial vine in the Polygonaceae family, native to Mexico and Central America and widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical regions for its spectacular ornamental flowers. This climbing vine can reach lengths of 10 meters or more, using twining stems to climb fences, trellises, walls, and other structures, forming dense, cascading foliage. The leaves are heart-shaped, bright green, and arranged alternately along the stems, providing a lush backdrop for its stunning floral displays. Antigonon leptopus is most famous for its profuse clusters of small, trumpet-shaped flowers, which appear in shades of pink, coral, or white, often blooming in waves throughout the growing season, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly adaptable to a range of well-drained soils, demonstrating remarkable drought tolerance once established. Beyond its ornamental appeal, it is sometimes used for erosion control on slopes due to its dense, fast-growing root system. Its combination of rapid growth, vibrant flowers, and versatility in landscaping makes Antigonon leptopus a popular choice for arbors, pergolas, fences, and tropical garden designs, while also serving as an important nectar source for pollinators.
