Coral Vine

One of my most favourite plants is the Coral Vine (Antigonon leptopus). It is interesting to note that its Malay name is Air Mata Pengantin which translates to The Bride’s Tears. This fast growing creeper has small heart shaped pink flowers. The flowers are abundant and bloom year round. A must have if you’re looking for an easy to care for and fast growing creeper.

The plant can grow up to 25 meters and attracts bees and requires a climbing structure or it will very quickly climb over any of the plants that surround it.

The Coral Vine can be used to hide unwanted features like ugly pipes like in this picture.
