Clerodendrum thomsoniae (Bleeding Heart Vine)

Clerodendrum thomsoniae (Bleeding Heart Vine) is a spectacular evergreen tropical climber admired for its striking clusters of brilliant scarlet-red flowers emerging from pure white, lantern-like calyces. Flowering from spring through autumn in warm climates, the dramatic blooms create an eye-catching display against glossy dark green foliage. This vigorous climbing plant is perfect for growing over trellises, pergolas, fences, arches, or in large containers where its cascading flowers can be fully appreciated.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil, Clerodendrum thomsoniae grows vigorously with regular watering and occasional feeding during the growing season. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain a tidy shape and encourages fresh growth and repeat flowering. Its lush tropical appearance and spectacular floral display make it an outstanding feature plant for tropical and subtropical gardens.
