One of the few local vines that will provide tropical vibes without leaving the region. Perfect for trellising - in the wild it trellises itself over other plants.

Deciduous, not an overly aggressive grower. Flowers in yellows, oranges, and reds. A hot ticket item.

Saanich children once sucked the trumpet flowers for their sweet nectar, hummingbirds still do.
