A Bit More

Clytostoma callistegioides is a fast-growing evergreen vine, known for its trumpet-shaped lavender flowers and rapid growth. It is ideal for privacy screens, hedges, and covering large walls, fences, or arbors. Thrives in hot, sunny conditions but tolerates partial shade. It requires regular water to establish but becomes drought-tolerant once mature. Can grow in a variety of soils, including sandy, loamy, and even clay, provided they do not remain waterlogged; needs excellent drainage. Cold hardy to 20°F. We use the older name still in widespread use, Clytostoma but the current name is now Bignonia callistegioides.
