Eccremocarpus scaber

vine

Chilean glory flower is a tender climbing vine with delicate tubular orange, red, or yellow flowers and feathery foliage, blooming abundantly from summer through frost. The plant grows rapidly and can reach 6–10 feet in a single season, making it ideal for quick coverage of trellises and fences. In frost-prone areas, it's often grown as an annual, though it may regrow from its root if mulched heavily.

Care Guide

light_mode
Light
Full sun to partial shade; prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for vigorous growth and prolific flowering
water_drop
Water
Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season but not waterlogged. Water less frequently in cooler months. Drought-tolerant once established.
compost
Soil
Well-draining, fertile soil with added organic matter. Light, sandy loam is ideal. Poor soil is tolerated but reduces vigour.
science
Fertiliser
Apply balanced 10-10-10 or high-potassium fertilizer monthly during growing season to encourage flowering. Reduce in winter.
thermometer
Temperature
Tender perennial; frost-sensitive. Best grown as an annual in zones below 9. Dies back or killed by hard frost; mulch roots for winter protection in borderline zones.
