BEAUMONTIA GRANDIFLORA
Herald's Trumpet

Pictures cannot even begin to describe the sight of a mature Beaumontia in full bloom.
A big plant can be covered with many large flowers.
Beaumontia does need mature to bloom, it may take a couple of years before you see the flowers.
To produce the best display, this heavy climber with large leaves will need a strong structure. Without support the plant will form a large mound.
It can be grown in pots but will not get very big or produce many flowers like the ones grown in the ground.
Beaumontia is a tropical vine. It can tolerate a light frost for short periods but it is better to protect it if the temperature goes bellow freezing.
