Rangoon Creeper is a fast-growing, woody vine celebrated for its fragrant, tubular flowers that change color as they mature. It is a champion in the Houston metro area, as it absolutely thrives in our intense summer heat and high humidity. While it is adaptable to many soil conditions, it performs best in loose, fertile soil. In areas with dense clay, adding organic matter will help ensure the root system remains healthy during our heavy seasonal rains.
Exposure
Full Sun to Partial Shade (Full sun for best blooming)
Height x Width
15-20+ feet (requires support like a trellis or fence)
Water
Moderate to High; likes consistent moisture, especially during the peak summer flowering season.
Zones
9-11 (Will freeze back in Houston/Willis but usually returns from the roots in spring).
Fertilization
Apply a balanced, water-soluble or slow-release fertilizer monthly during the growing season.
Pruning
Prune after blooming to control size or in late winter to remove any freeze-damaged wood.
