Antigonon leptopus
Antigonon leptopus, commonly called coral vine, is native to Mexico. It is a tuberous-rooted, tendril-climbing tropical vine that can reach 40 feet in its native habitat. The flowers grow in axillary racemes and have pink to white sepals, blooming from late summer to fall. Its coarse, wavy-edged, arrowhead-shaped green leaves grow up to 4 inches long. It is known by several descriptive common names, including Mexican creeper, chain of love, love vine, pink vine, corallita, and Queen's wreath.
Coral vines can be quickly grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. They can tolerate drought but do better with consistent moisture during the growing season. In USDA Zones 9-11, they are evergreen; in Zone 8, they are deciduous, but the roots generally survive.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
