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.
