The fire vine is a twining climber that grows with moderate to strong vigour up to about 5 metres. The unusual and dramatic blooms open one after the other in rows, with a play of colours ranging from red to yellow-orange to yellow-white. Flowering from July to frost. Foliage becomes dense in sunny locations and can form a privacy screen.
