Blooming in mid-summer, these strange and exotic looking lily-like flowers are 4-5 inches across with wavy-edged petals that are reflexed back as if blown by a strong wind. In bud, the petals face downward, but they open up to a backward arch. These wavy, swept-back petals are crimson red, with a yellow base and edged in bright yellow making the blossoms look like they're on fire. The green stamens are extremely prominent and spread outward, and the pistil points to the side of the nodding blooms. They produce weak, trailing stems clothed with glossy, lush green, whorled leaves which are tipped at the ends with tendrils to aid in climbing. The fast growing vines can climb up to 8 feet on a fence or trellis in warm weather, bloom, then die. Can be used as a Houseplant, or planted in the garden ! Growing : Plant immediatelly. Plant at a depth of 3/4" using well draining soil mixture. Keep damp, warm and in very bright light. Fertilize monthly.
