Notes
Coral vine (Antigonon leptopus) is a vine for pollinator gardens, containers, and specimen plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It grows fast and cascades to a height of 8 to 10 feet. Birds visit it, and it tolerates drought once settled in.
Pairs well with Mexican petunia, Pomegranate, and Lemongrass.
