About Bleeding Heart Vine White
Bleeding Heart Vine White (Clerodendrum thomsoniae, also called glory-bower or bagflower) is a perennial evergreen flowering vine with clusters of showy white calyxes (sepals) from which bright crimson-red corollas peek out - like tiny hearts. It's an attractive, bushy, tropical-looking twining vine.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: Flowers best in full sun; also does well in partial shade or dappled sunlight.
- Soil: Cannot tolerate alkaline soil - will show leaf yellowing.
- Climate: Prefers warm climates.
Planting & Support
A fast-growing vine, good for covering an arbor, trellis, pergola or chain-link fence - light support is enough to get it climbing. Grows equally well in a pot or directly in the ground.
Care
- Watering: Ensure good drainage with sufficient water and nutrient supply.
- Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month, watered in immediately; a phosphorus-based fertilizer for more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular pruning maintains the required shape; it can also be kept as a bushy stand-alone plant.
Flowering
Blooms 8-10 months of the year, sometimes throughout the year in warm, tropical climates. Reaches 3-5 metres when supported.

FAQs
FAQs
Why are the flowers called 'bleeding heart'?
The bright red corollas peek out from white, balloon-like calyxes, giving a heart-like two-tone look.
How much light does it need?
It flowers best in full sun but also does well in partial shade or dappled light.
Can it grow in alkaline soil?
No - alkaline soil causes leaf yellowing; use well-drained, non-alkaline soil.
Does it need heavy support?
Only light support is needed, as it's a twining vine rather than a heavy climber.
