Tecomanthe Speciosa is a native vine that has large glossy leaves giving it a tropical look. Fast growing it climbs by twining around a support, or it can be left to trail down over retaining walls or rocks. The large cream – white tubular flowers appear in the colder months and are great for the birds.

This auction is for one Tecomanthe Speciosa plant for $10.00. The plants are in PB3 (1.8Litre) bags and are currently 40cm tall (excluding the container).

Tecomanthe Speciosa will grow in full sun or semi shade and in most soil types although it will do better with a good soil that drains well. It copes well with coastal locations but unfortunately it is frost tender. If using it as a climber it will need a good strong support as the stems are very strong and the plants can grow to cover a couple of meters so they can become heavy.

These plants have been grown in our nursery from seed sourced from our neighbour’s Northland west coast property. The parent plants are in the full brunt of west coast weather and are thriving. Our Nursery is also situated on Northlands west coast approx. 1km from the sea so the plants in the auction are well used to coastal conditions as well.

Shipping costs will be dependent on the delivery address. Ask a question and I will advise shipping costs for you. The plants will be sent the Monday following receipt of your payment.

You can also collect the plants direct from the nursery or we have a delivery service available - conditions apply.

If you would like a different quantity or if you would like to combine this with other plants we have listed please post a question and we will set up an auction for you.
