Care essentials
Plant in full sun for best flowering; this native vine performs poorly and blooms sparsely in part shade. In NE Florida, a south- or west-facing fence or trellis in an open, sunny spot is ideal.
Extremely drought-tolerant once established in NE Florida's sandy soils; water during establishment (first season) then rely on rainfall. Avoid overwatering — soggy roots cause decline.
Thrives in lean, sandy, well-drained soils typical of NE Florida coastal areas; no fertilizer needed and excess fertilizer promotes foliage over bloom. Amend clay spots with coarse sand to ensure drainage.
