Additional comments: This landscape vine is not common in Phoenix landscapes even though it is generally fast-growing and easy in cultivation. Podranea is an anagram of the closely related genus Pandorea. Pink trumpet vine (Podranea ricosolaina) should not be confused (it often is) with (Bower vine) Pandorea jasminoides, a very closely related and similar looking, but more cold sensitive, pink flowering vine from Malaysia.
