Showy bright-orange flowers on a vigorous vine. Hopefully at least root-hardy here in the southwestern Houston suburbs. We bought a modest-sized plant in fall with the expectation that it would take off the following year and help decorate our back fence – and it didn't disappoint. By late March, it had scaled the height of the fence, without any on-purpose support, and flowers appeared in early April. If anything, I'll have to be careful that it doesn't overrun its neighbors.
