Distictis
Rivers * Royal Trumpet Vine |
| Distictis rivers does not stick to a wall, usually I think of
that as a good thing. The Royal Trumpet Vine must be supported. It can get quite large and grows
rather rapidly, sometimes up to a couple of feet a week. Where the climate is warm
enough near the coast or in the banana belt of the inland valleys the Royal
Trumpet Vine is a great producer
of flowers Spring through Fall. The Royal Trumpet Vine will not do well with a hard frost at all.
The biggest trouble point for Distictis rivers is that the new plant material just grows on top
of the old developing a thick layer of thatch over time. I prefer to grow this over
a wall rather than on a trellis for this reason. The underside just looks like dead
twigs without a tremendous amount of work.
