About Flaming Trumpet
Flaming Trumpet (Pyrostegia venusta, also called Golden Shower or Sankrant Vel) is a vigorous, perennial semi-evergreen flowering vine from the Bignoniaceae family. During its blooming season the whole plant is covered in thousands of small, shining orange, trumpet-shaped flowers.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight daily; flowering reduces in full shade.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Climate: Average temperature 20-35°C; needs cool winters for its best bloom and does not perform well in warm, humid coastal areas.
Planting & Support
A long-lived, vigorous climber that needs a strong, permanent trellis, chain-link fence, arbor or pergola. It can also be kept as a bushy stand-alone shrub in a large pot with regular pruning.
Care
- Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; keep moisture near the root zone.
- Fertilizer: Any organic fertilizer once a month; a phosphorus-based fertilizer encourages more vigorous flowering.
- Pruning: Regular pruning keeps the plant in shape; remove dead, infected or damaged growth.
Flowering
Blooms January to April (timing can vary with climate), reaching 8-12 metres in height when well supported.
