QUISQUALIS
INDICA 'DOUBLE'
Rangoon Creeper
Quisqualis
indica is just one of the tropical, flowering vine that we offer. It is suitable
to many gardeners all over the country because of its tolerance to be be trimmed
to any size. It can also be grown in pots.
As the weather warms up the display of flowers will begin to cover the lush
foliage.
Rangoon Creeper has a unique bloom. One plant will carry 3 different color
of flowers.
Flowers starts white and with age turn pink and then red. If that wasn't enough
to please most gardeners, the flowers have a slight fragrance too.
We carry 2 varieties. One with a single flower and another with a double.
The single form is much easier to propagate, making it more common and readily
available. Both are equally beautiful.
