Climber
Plant Description

Ruspolia hypocrateriformis is a fairly hardy, evergreen, scrambling woody shrub, with bright green, ovate leaves. Pinwheel, crimson-red flowers are arranged in a spike. Fruits are dry, explosively splitting capsules.  Butterflies are attracted to Ruspolia hypocrateriformis by the large amount of nectar that these flowers produce.

Grow in semi-shade and water moderately. It can withstand some frost. It is an ideal plant from a small screen.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
