Field Notes

Description:

Also, known as Firecracker Vine.

The unusual blooms are bright orange, with red and yellow markings. Looks like pieces of candy corn.

Candy Corn Vine will twines its way up a trellis or a fence. Pretty, dark green oval leaves. It is fast growing vine. Grows to about 8-10 feet if unpruned. Can be kept compact if trimmed.

Candy Corn Vine (Manettia luteorubra) comes from the rain forests of South America.

Does well with some mid-day shade. Can tolerate sun and shade. Very easy to grow.
