Know before you buy
No, it is a self-clinging vine that uses small tendrils to attach itself to surfaces like brick, stone, or wood. While it doesn't strictly require a trellis, providing one can help guide its growth if you are training it to cover a specific area.
While the Tangerine Beauty is highly adaptable and will grow in heavy shade, it produces the most abundant blooms when planted in full sun. If you plant it in a shaded area, expect more foliage growth but fewer flowers.
This is a vigorous, fast-growing vine that can reach a mature height of up to 30 feet. Because of its rapid growth rate, it is best suited for large fences, walls, or arbors where it has plenty of room to spread.
It is semi-evergreen, meaning it will retain much of its foliage in milder climates. In colder regions, it may lose some or all of its leaves during the winter months before leafing out again in the spring.
The Tangerine Beauty is considered low-maintenance, but because of its vigorous growth, you may want to prune it annually to keep it within your desired boundaries. Pruning is best done after the main flowering season has finished.
Yes, the trumpet-shaped tangerine blooms are excellent for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The dense foliage also provides cover and nesting opportunities for birds.
