The flame vine, also known as Pyrostegia venusta, is a beautiful flowering vine native to Brazil. It is an evergreen, twining liana that can grow up to 30 feet long. The flame vine is highly admired for its clusters of vibrant orange-red tubular flowers that bloom in winter and spring. The flowers emerge from woody stems and glossy green leaves that can be up to 6 inches long. When in full bloom, the flame vine creates a spectacular floral display that looks like a river of fire. For this reason, it is also nicknamed the flaming trumpet vine, orange trumpet vine, and firecracker vine. The flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Once established, flame vines grow vigorously and bloom heavily year after year in frost-free climates.
