Beaumontia grandiflora
- Product number: 621640
- Origin: Tropical Eastern Himalaya
- Latin: Beaumontia grandiflora
A climbing plant with woolly stems and large, leathery leaves. Give them a light, somewhat sunny spot on the windowsill or in the greenhouse or conservatory. They can be placed outside during the warmest months. Let them grow in a large pot or tub (at least 40cm in diameter) otherwise growth will be too restricted and flowering will be much less. Provide support with a sturdy trellis. After a few years, the plant is mature and ready to flower: large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers with a wonderful fragrance! Overwinter frost-free, 12°C is ideal.
From tropical East Himalayas.
