Know before you buy
Yes, this vine is well-suited for containers. Because it reaches a mature height of about 4 feet, it is easy to manage in a pot on a patio or in a sunroom.
The Nong Nooch Vine has a vigorous climbing habit and performs best when trained on a trellis, wire, or other vertical support. It can also be allowed to clamber naturally if you provide a structure for its stems to grip.
This plant is hardy only to Zone 10 and requires temperatures above 50°F. If you live in a colder climate, you should grow it in a container so it can be moved indoors before the first frost.
For the best growth and floral display, place your vine in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. Consistent light is key to encouraging its long-lasting, pendulous blooms.
The plant blooms continuously from spring through fall, and the unique, pendulous flowers are known for their longevity. In many cases, the bracts and blooms will retain their beauty well into the winter months.
