Climbing Bauhinia (Bauhinia bidentata)

Dazzling orange-to-yellow flowers adorn this strong grower from Thailand which blooms freely from late winter until late fall. To our surprise, Climbing Bauhinia makes a wonderful container plant with staking or support. The showy blooms emerge on the tips of new growth opening yellow and darkening to a deep orange. The more sun the better, preferring 60F lows, although it will tolerate temperatures into the 30s for short periods.
