About this plant

Magenta bracts over a thorny cascade β€” the vine that turns compound walls into festival arches. Drought-happy once established; colour actually intensifies with stress.

Care guide

Full blazing sun and lean, fast-draining soil. Water to establish, then starve slightly β€” wet roots give leaves, not colour. Prune after each show; wear gloves for the thorns.
