Beaumontia grandiflora – Herald’s Trumpet Vine (4″ pot)

Description   FAMILY : Apocynaceae ORIGIN : Himalayas TYPE/USES: large vine LIGHT REQUIREMENTS : full/partial sun WATER REQUIREMENTS : average MIN. TEMP. : low 30’s FLOWER : spring COMMENTS : fragrant flowers Pictures cannot even begin to describe the sight of a mature Beaumontia in full bloom. A big plant can be covered with many large flowers. Beaumontia does need mature to bloom, it may take a couple of years before you see the flowers. To produce the best display, this heavy climber with large leaves will need a strong structure. Without support the plant will form a large mound. It can be grown in pots but will not get very big or produce many flowers like the ones grown in the ground. Beaumontia is a tropical vine. It can tolerate a light frost for short periods but it is better to protect it if the temperature goes below freezing.
