Overview
Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys) is an exotic climbing plant native to the rainforests of the Philippines. It has long, elegant stems, with glossy heart-shaped leaves that grow in mid-green clusters along the vine. In spring, the plant produces spectacular clusters of bright blue-green, trumpet-shaped flowers, which hang from the stems in bunches. Jade vine can be cultivated in a greenhouse, and can reach heights of up to 12 feet when supported by a trellis or other climbing structure. It grows best in a warm, humid climate, and well-drained, slightly acid soil. With its unique foliage and beautiful flowers, it makes a striking addition to any garden.
