Podranea
ricasoliana * Port St. John's Creeper |
| Podranea ricasoliana is a
vigorous vine. Aren't they all. The foliage is lost in the mid 20's but the plant will
come back as if there were no inconvenience, tolerating temperatures
in the teen's and probably below. The
flowers come out in the late summer and fall when little else is happening.
Podranea ricasoliana can
stretch 30 feet and more. Port St. John Creeper is prone to rooting when it hits the ground and roots
that see sun grow new plants. The common name is telling us
something. This one is not for the timid. With a little
attention it is worth the trouble. The flowers are 1" across and
the late show is spectacular.
