Pandorea jasminoides
- Pandorea jasminoides, commonly known as Bower Vine, is a fast growing evergreen vine prized for its soft, tropical look and long season of showy flowers. It produces clusters of trumpet shaped blooms in shades of pale pink with deeper pink throats, creating a delicate but noticeable display against its glossy green foliage.
- Flowering typically begins in spring and can continue through summer and into fall in warm climates. The blooms add a light, airy feel to the garden and are especially attractive to pollinators such as bees.
- This vine has a twining growth habit and works beautifully on trellises, fences, pergolas, and walls. It can also be trained as a loose screen or allowed to climb and soften vertical structures, making it a versatile option for adding height and coverage.
- Pandorea jasminoides performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well drained soil. It benefits from regular watering during establishment, but once mature, it is moderately drought tolerant. Occasional pruning will help control its size and encourage fuller growth.
- It can grow 15 to 25 feet long depending on support and conditions. It is well suited for USDA zones 9 through 11 and is hardy down to around 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The foliage is evergreen in mild climates.
- This plant has low toxicity and is generally a safe choice for gardens with pets and children.
- The flowers attract pollinators such as bees.
- It is moderately deer resistant and typically avoided by rabbits once established.
- Bower Vine is especially well suited for cottage gardens, Mediterranean landscapes, and tropical style plantings where soft color and climbing coverage are desired.
- With its graceful blooms, vigorous growth, and versatility, Pandorea jasminoides is a great choice for adding vertical interest and seasonal color to the garden.
