Chalice Vine (Cup of Gold, Hawaiian Wedding Flower)

Plant in fertile, rich, well-drained soil in full sun; chalice vine is one of the most spectacular large-flowering plants in the world, producing enormous chalice-shaped flowers 8–10 inches across in golden yellow with purple veins and a powerful, tropical, coconut-like fragrance, strongest at night. The massive, woody vines with large, glossy evergreen leaves can eventually cover a large wall, pergola, or building. It is one of the showiest of all tropical vines for zone 10–11 landscapes and a traditional feature of California and Florida coastal gardens. Established plants are surprisingly drought tolerant. Bloom is typically heaviest in late winter through spring and again in fall. Caution: all parts of this plant, including the nectar, are highly toxic — the active alkaloids can cause severe poisoning. Do not plant where children, pets, or livestock can access the plant. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 120–240 дюймів Висота: 120–600 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–42 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C

Bloom is best on established plants and often increases when the plant experiences mild drought stress in late summer-fall.
