Adorned with vibrant pink flowers, the Coral Vine ( Antigonon leptopus ) is a prolific bloomer that is constantly flowering under bright sunlight. The flowers are rich in nectar and provide food for bees and butterflies. This lush climber has heart-shaped leaves which drape over trellises, forming a dense canopy that shelters from the sun. There are cultivated varieties of the Coral Vine which come in white or dark red flowers.
