A native of Queensland, Australia, Bower Vine is a bushy, twining, woody stemmed vine with pinnate, evergreen variegated foliage, having between five and seven lance-shaped leaflets up to 50mm long. Makes fragrant funnel-shaped white to pink flowers with deep pink to maroon throats in Spring and Summer, followed by large elliptical fruits containing many seeds. Moderate rate of growth. Evergreen in frost-free areas; perennial if roots are protected during heavy freezes, when it will die back to the ground. Prefers rich, moist, reasonably well drained soils but will grow almost anywhere; prefers full hot sun but tolerates partial shade. When established will tolerate extended dry spells.
