Golden Chalice Vine.
They're large, flambouyant, unique and very hard to overlook.
Also known as Solandra maxima or Cup of Gold Vine, the Golden Chalice Vine originates from Central and South America, and grow well in cooler climates. In warmer areas it will be evergreen, in cooler climates it will be deciduous, or partly deciduous. These luxurious plants are found in the northern parts of Australia all the way down to Melbourne.
The Golden Chalice Vine is characterized its glossy foliage lemon coloured petals which open up and fold back to reveal dark brown stripes through the centres. These vines are poisonous and need to be handles with care.
They prefer a humus rich soil and a little moisture and require general purpose fertilizers in spring and some extra water during dry summers.
The Golden Chalice Vines are hardy and easy to prune and it is best to shape them each year after flowering.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.*
