Palicourea Nematostachya

Coral vine, scientifically known as Palicourea nematostachya, is a striking tropical climbing plant native to Central and South America. With its vibrant, cascading flowers that resemble coral in color and form, it captivates gardeners and botanists alike. This fast-growing vine thrives in warm, humid environments and is often used in ornamental landscaping for its beauty and versatility. Its unique foliage and long, trailing stems make it a popular choice for trellises, hanging baskets, and garden borders. Despite its aesthetic appeal, the plant requires careful attention to soil, light, and pruning to ensure optimal growth and flowering.
