Rangoon Creeper (Quisqualis Indica)

Rangoon Creeper, scientifically known as Quisqualis Indica, is a vigorous and highly fragrant flowering climber native to Southeast Asia and widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions. This attractive vine typically grows between 80 cm and 180 cm in height and features glossy, dark green, elongated leaves with pointed tips. Its most distinctive feature is its color-changing tubular flowers, which open white, gradually turn pink, and finally mature into deep red. Blooming from late spring through early fall, the flowers release a sweet fragrance, especially in the evening, and attract bees and butterflies. With its lush foliage, cascading blooms, and easy-care nature, Rangoon Creeper is ideal for trellises, pergolas, fences, and garden walls.
