Meet Candy Corn Vine: a twining South American vine with waxy, tubular orange-red flowers tipped in yellow that really do look like candy corn, and a favorite of hummingbirds.
WHAT ARRIVES
2 live starter plugs, each approximately 4 to 6 inches tall, rooted and actively growing. Plant them near a trellis, fence or other support once your last frost has passed.
PET NOTE
Candy corn vine (Manettia) isn't listed in the ASPCA plant database, so we can't make a pet-safety claim either way. If pets tend to chew on vines, check with your vet before planting it where they can reach.
WHERE IT SHINES
Trellises, fences, mailbox posts and patio pots, or trailing from a hanging basket. Hummingbirds visit the flowers all season.
GROWING IT
Plant in full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade in the hottest climates, in well-drained soil kept consistently moist. It's a fast twining climber that can reach up to 10 feet with support. Light pruning keeps it tidy and encourages more flowers.
CLIMATE
Perennial in USDA zones 9 to 11. In cooler areas, grow it as a summer annual or bring it indoors to a bright spot before frost.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Young plugs need a few weeks to settle in before they start climbing. Flowers bloom steadily from summer into fall.
