Tecomanthe speciosa Details

Tecomanthe speciosa, commonly known as the Three Kings Vine, is a NZ native climber grown for its foliage and flowers. It features large and glossy, green leaves which become adorned with large clusters of cream-coloured, tubular flowers in autumn. The showy flowers provide for a spectacular display and are great for attracting birds. It will grow to 10 m tall but is often contained with trimming. This climber prefers a full sun position, good drainage, and a frost-free site. If planted in the shaded conditions, it will only flower when it reaches full sun. It can be grown successfully in cooler climates with the protection of larger trees. Tecomanthe speciosa makes an excellent addition to a subtropical garden and is well suited to growing on pillars, pergolas, and arches. With appropriate support it can also be used for hedging.
