Rangoon Creeper (Quisqualis Indica)

The Rangoon Creeper, also known as Quisqualis Indica, is a vigorous flowering climber native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. It typically grows between 80 cm and 180 cm, depending on growing conditions. The plant features glossy, dark green, elongated leaves with pointed tips, providing a lush backdrop to its spectacular, fragrant flowers. The tubular blooms change color as they mature, starting white, turning pink, and finally deep red, creating a dynamic display from late spring to early fall.

Rangoon Creeper thrives in full sun, which encourages prolific flowering, and is relatively low-maintenance. Its adaptability and striking, colorful blooms make it an excellent choice for trellises, fences, and arbors in gardens or patios.
