Product Details
Rangoon Creeper (Quisqualis indica, now often Combretum indicum) – also known as Chinese Honeysuckle or Burma Creeper – is a fast-growing, woody tropical vine that creates a spectacular floral display! This vigorous climber produces clusters of star-shaped, tubular flowers that magically change color: opening white or creamy in the evening, turning soft pink by day, and deepening to vivid red or crimson as they mature. The blooms hang in pendulous bunches amid glossy, lance-shaped green leaves, filling the air with a sweet, intoxicating fragrance (especially strong at night). Reaching 10–30 feet or more with support, it's perfect for draping over trellises, arbors, fences, or walls to create a lush, romantic cascade.
Gardeners adore this vine for its enchanting color-changing flowers that add multi-toned magic and long-lasting beauty from spring through fall (or year-round in warm climates like the UAE). The sweet, fruity-floral fragrance perfumes the evening air, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators while creating a dreamy, resort-like atmosphere. It's a fast cover for unsightly structures, low-maintenance once established, and brings exotic tropical charm with minimal fuss—perfect for romantic gardens, privacy screens, or simply enjoying its intoxicating scent!
Important Safety Note
Seeds and parts can be toxic if ingested (traditionally used in small, controlled medicinal doses but not recommended without expertise). Handle with care, especially around children and pets.
Caring Tips for Your Rangoon Creeper
Light: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for the best flowering and growth; tolerates partial shade but blooms less profusely.
Water: Regular watering to keep soil evenly moist during establishment and active growth; becomes quite drought-tolerant once rooted. Avoid water logging.
Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil; adaptable to most types (sandy to loamy) with neutral to slightly acidic pH.
Temperature: Thrives in hot, tropical/subtropical climates; protect from frost - in cooler spots, grow in pots and overwinter indoors. Loves UAE heat!
Fertilizer: Use a balanced or phosphorus-rich fertilizer during growing season; avoid high-nitrogen types to prevent excess foliage over flowers.
Pruning: Prune hard in late winter/early spring or after main bloom to control size, encourage bushiness, and promote more flowers; train on sturdy supports as it climbs aggressively.
Support: Provide strong trellis, arbor, fence, or pergola - it's a vigorous twiner that needs guidance.
Pot Growing: Great in large containers with excellent drainage for patios or balconies; ideal for overwintering or smaller spaces.
Transform your space into a fragrant, colorful paradise with the mesmerizing Rangoon Creeper - a true tropical treasure that's as enchanting as it is easy to grow!
