Pyrostegia venusta, commonly known as Flame Vine, is a vigorous and striking flowering vine that belongs to the Bignoniaceae family. It is native to tropical regions of South America, particularly Brazil. Flame Vine is renowned for its stunning display of vibrant orange-red flowers, making it a popular choice for adding a splash of colour to gardens and landscapes.

Flowers
The most distinctive feature of Flame Vine is its profusion of tubular, trumpet-shaped flowers that are bright orange to red in colour. These flowers are arranged in large clusters, creating a dramatic visual impact. The vine can become completely covered in flowers during its blooming season.

Growth
Flame Vine is a fast-growing climber that can reach heights of 4.5 to 9m or more under the right conditions. It uses tendrils to cling to structures, such as trellises, fences, and arbours.

Foliage
The leaves of Pyrostegia venusta are compound and green, providing a nice backdrop to the vibrant flowers. The foliage is not the primary attraction of this plant, as the flowers steal the show.

Bloom Time
Flame Vine typically blooms during the winter months, from late fall to early spring. The blooming period can vary depending on climate and growing conditions.

Light
This vine thrives in full sun to partial shade. To encourage the best flower display, provide it with plenty of sunlight.

Soil
Flame Vine prefers well-draining soil. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, it performs best in soil that is moderately fertile and has good drainage.

Watering
Once established, Flame Vine is somewhat drought-tolerant, but regular watering is important during its active growth period to promote flowering and healthy growth.

Pruning
Pruning is usually done after the flowering season to control the growth and shape of the vine. Trim back any overgrown or dead branches to maintain its appearance.

Landscape Use
Flame Vine is commonly used as a decorative climber on trellises, fences, walls, and pergolas. Its vibrant flowers make it a showstopper in any landscape setting.

Flame Vine’s brilliant flowers and rapid growth make it a sought-after choice for gardeners looking to create a bold and colourful statement in their landscapes. It’s important to provide proper support and regular maintenance to ensure that the vine remains healthy and well-controlled.
