Antigonon leptopus, also lovingly known as coral vine, hails from the beautiful region of Mexico. This charming, tuberous-rooted vine can reach impressive lengths of up to 40 feet in its natural environment, climbing gracefully with its tendrils. The delightful flowers bloom in lovely axillary racemes and showcase enchanting pink to white sepals, typically blooming from late summer through fall. Its leaves, which are coarse and wavy-edged with an arrowhead shape, can grow to about 4 inches long, adding a touch of lush greenery to any space. You might recognize coral vine by its various endearing common names like Mexican creeper, chain of love, love vine, pink vine, corallita, or even Queen's wreath.

Growing coral vines is a breeze! They thrive in average, medium, well-drained soils and absolutely love full sunshine. While they can handle a bit of drought, they'll really flourish with consistent moisture during the growing season. In USDA Zones 9-11, these vines stay evergreen, and although they turn deciduous in Zone 8 (Walker County) their roots typically endure to see another season.
