This ornamental vine features attractive arrowhead-shaped leaves with purple undersides and produces clusters of brilliant orange-red daisy-like flowers from late spring through fall. The showy blooms are highly attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens. Hardy in zones 9-11, it thrives in average to organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade and tolerates short periods of drought once established.
