Bleeding-heart vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae)

The Bleeding-heart vine (Clerodendrum thomsoniae) is a lush, evergreen climber characterized by its glossy, dark green leaves and exotic flowers. It thrives when supported on structures like trellises and can extend up to 4.5 meters in length. The plant produces clusters of vibrant red flowers encased in white, petal-like bracts, with the most abundant blooming period occurring during the summer, though it can flower throughout the year. While it flourishes best in full sunlight, it can also grow in partially shaded areas.
