Pink Trumpet Vine (Podranea ricasoliana) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Podranea, native to South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. It is a vigorous, woody, rambling, evergreen climber without tendrils. The leaves are compound and a deep glossy green. Large bunches of fragrant lilac-pink, trumpet-shaped, foxglove-like flowers are produced all summer long. The flowers are carried at the branch tips of the new growth, and are held above the foliage. The flowers terminate a branch and after flowering new side branches develop behind the spent flowers.
This is an excellent plant for arbors, pergolas and carports and is a valuable shade-giving plant in a hot climate. It is ideal for an informal hedge or planted against a wall or a fence to create a screen.
